Ah, I was hoping this meant chatgpt would give canned responses, ie. “Seek help”, whenever it detected it was being used for mental health issues, which it should. But no it’s just open air flipping off anyone who asks why there chatbot pushed a person to suicide.

Self proclaimed “5 star man” Dennis Reynolds is the top suspect

This study isn’t about total clicks, or a drop in traffic to Google caused by people not liking the ai overview. It’s about for each Google search that was executed, how often did someone click on a link. Without ai it was 15% and with ai it is 8%. So if anything its proving the customers like the ai overviews and believe they are getting enough from them to answer their query.

Sure there are probably a couple people who see the overview at the top and hate ai so much they leave Google without clicking anything, but those people will probably only do that once or twice before they stop using Google entirely or disable the feature, and thus wouldn’t count much in the data about ai overview searches.

Same here in the US with AI, but instead of the government giving subsidies its venture capitalists.
