Can you be more specific? Just saying it's not compelling doesn't add anything to the conversation

AI as a mechanism for allowing Google (or whoever) to deliver the same information we already have through an inevitable additional opaque layer of bias and advertising would be seen as a horror if so many people weren't impressed by the gee whiz factor of it.

Why? They tune their algos/metrics to specific metrics.

Main metrics for their business is engagements(how many queries you do on google.com) and Ads clicks, and not how precise answer you got.
