Remember when companies like Google and Facebook got slapped with fines and fees from various countries for sumerizing news in news feeds on their sites. News outlets were complaining about loss of ad revenue as a result of reduced traffic to their website directly. Facebook even in some cases blocked news links in some countries from not showing on users feeds, so as to be compliant and not pay fees. Guess AI summarising news is somehow completely different.

Cue the websites complaining in a couple years that even less people are visiting their pages, like they did when summarizing pages on social media was banned.

Man, this should be the shortest, easiest investigation ever. Here, let me help. Google does not offer any compensation to the websites they’re ripping off with their AI summaries. While you are at it, consider also investigating bing and duck duck go.

Is this legally distinct from showing a few sentences from whatever website you searched for? Some complaints risk a precedent that amounts to 'search engines are basically piracy.' Like how Google Images used to be friggin' great, and then they had to ruin it because copyright on thumbnails is sooo frigging important that linking to a JPG is a crime. I mean, including AI images would've ruined it eventually, but it could've stayed good for longer!
