Google sees an internet crisis, even though it recently announced that it was thriving.

Google has acknowledged that the open web is rapidly disappearing, even though it recently claimed that it was in good shape and that artificial intelligence had no impact on it. This statement appeared in court documents and contradicts the company's previous position.

Context

With the inclusion of AI in search engines, it has been noticed that users no longer need to click on further links once they have received a quick AI response. This began to reduce the number of visits to individual websites, because why browse further when Google immediately provides a "digestible," quick answer? Meanwhile, back in the summer, Google representatives claimed that the internet was thriving, click-through rates remained stable and even improved in quality, and critics who accused AI of reducing visitor traffic were dismissed as mistaken.

However, in court, the company admitted the opposite that regular search is already declining. This position suggests that Google sees an inevitable change and is trying to shift the blame away from itself.

What does this mean?

Google is sending mixed signals – publicly defending AI and saying that the internet is still accessible as usual, but in court talking about the decline of deeper search. This shows that even tech giant Google sees a crisis, and discussions about the impact of AI on the future of the internet are likely to intensify.

HEADLINES

• S. Altman cannot distinguish between bots and humans: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has admitted that it is becoming impossible for him to distinguish between humans and bots on social media. He also raises the question of whether humans have started to speak like AI, while the technology itself is being taught to speak like humans. Meanwhile, critics are wondering whether this statement is an attempt to prepare the ground for a possible OpenAI social network.

• Satirical AI awards: The AI Darwin Awards are a new satirical tribute to those who use artificial intelligence irresponsibly, ignoring obvious risks and ethical warnings. The awards honor daredevils who have chosen quick capital over safety, and whose decisions pose a threat not only to themselves but to all of humanity.

• Is it telepathy? Boston startup Alterego has created a portable device that uses AI to read words encoded in the micro-movements of a person's jaw and throat. It can be used to program, write messages, or communicate even in noisy environments and in multiple languages. This is a new, non-invasive way to communicate with AI and the environment.

• Microsoft + Anthropic + OpenAI: Microsoft plans to integrate Anthropic AI models into Office 365 together with OpenAI. This allows the company to diversify its AI partnerships. Claude models are better at creating Excel and PowerPoint files than GPT-5, so Microsoft is considering using them even through its competitor AWS's services. This shows that the company is becoming more pragmatic and less dependent on a single partner.
