The complaint accuses Google of “misusing web content for Google's AI Overviews in Google Search, which have caused, and continue to cause, significant harm to publishers, including news publishers in the form of traffic, readership and revenue loss.”
I actually like AI overview, though I use DDG, not Google. It’s especially helpful when you just want a simple answer e.g. stuck on a level in a video game, wanting to know the major exports for a country, checking the release date for a movie/game, basic troubleshooting questions.
Website developers typically bloat simple questions like this with irrelevant rubbish to waste your time and keep you on their websites longer.
