@grammasaurus : if I understand the patent correctly, the content seen by a user in their browser will not for 100% originate from your website given its domain name.
However, Google may let their Chrome browser show your domain name in the address bar and even suggest that a server-authenticated and encrypted valid https connection is being used (proving the authenticity of your website, which is then fully broken).
Google may even force other browser makers (such as Mozilla, sponsored by Google) to do the same.

@ErikvanStraten @SteveRudolfi This sounds absolutely awful.

@ErikvanStraten @grammasaurus @SteveRudolfi It is to be feared that Google will eventually force companies to pay for this AI junk under threat of invisibility in search results.

@ErikvanStraten @grammasaurus @SteveRudolfi How does this work with https? To show different content claiming to be the web site you searched for, they need to persuade your browser that the proxy they redirected it to is the real thing, which is a man-in-the-middle attack, presumably exactly the kind of thing https is designed to prevent.
