    We need Nokia with Symbian or better MeeGo. Where is any competition for iOS and Android ?! Even Windows Mobile.

Healthcare, research, writing, and IT will likely be among the first to be replaced with AI

              Not really surprised by this to be honest, after seeing they had added an ‘AI’ premium tier to Google One. Possibly, they look to add it as part of that, after upping the price of course…..

              Monetising these fancy new ‘AI’ features will likely be common in the not too distant future I reckon, Samsung have already said they plan to start charging, and I’d bet whatever Apple are cooking up will come with a cost…somewhere.

                They may have finally ran out of ideas to monetize your data

                  Most people I know stopped using even the "free" Google search a long time ago, so I wonder if there are enough people to make this profitable. Oh well, yet another future was killed by google products.

                        Google search is has gone bad in recent years, he takes more data from you than offers. I switched to DuckDuckGo long time ago. They can charge but nobody will use it.

                                Why don't they stop calling it "AI".

                                It is not intelligence, it is just a computer program which is doing what you programmed it for.

                                    Lol, their normal search is hot garbage and they want people to pay for their "Pro" hot garbage. LMAO Google, wake up, your search sucks.

                                        They perfected their search engine with people's search queries for over 20 years but somehow now we should pay for them to make money off it.

                                        Nice try, guys.

                                        Google really is the new AOL/Yahoo/IBM/whatever has-been company you can name.
