In the immortal words of Omar Little, “You come at the king, you best not miss.” And we all know that Google is the king, right? But history shows what happens when kings move too slowly or make too many mistakes. Google’s new AI Overview feature in search might be one of the bigger missteps the king has taken. It’s also not their first (I’m looking at you, Gemini Launch earlier this year). These new AI products highlight a big problem for Google. And they might be an even bigger problem for you. Google is the biggest website in the world. It’s also, in all likelihood, one of the the biggest drivers of traffic and revenues for your business. If the king stumbles, what happens to the folks who rely on the king for their success? Nothing good, that’s what. Why does AI Overview represent a big AI problem for Google? How might that problem affect your business? And what can you do about it? That’s what this episode of Thinks Out Loud is all about. Want to learn more? Here are the show notes for you.
