Well, is it important to put the blame on someone, or is it more important that society has access to a functional search engine. The AI thing is very new. The enshittification of Google precedes the generative content boom.
Similarly working to appoint blame of pollution emissions and lack of alternative transit has not gotten us fast rail or safer cars or much in reducing greenhouse emissions.
Although the interests of large corporations in retaining their profits and political power exceeds the interests of the public in the current regime.
The AI part may be new, but the SEO abuse is not. The AI stuff just makes an already bad situation worse and getting worse faster than ever.
Don’t take what I’m saying as defending Google or anything, they clearly could and should do better, but even if they were doing everything right it’s only part of the problem right now.
