imagine the Mayo Clinic’s site being taken over and re-assembled with whatever google thinks you wanted to find for medical advice…..

@grammasaurus : if I understand the patent correctly, the content seen by a user in their browser will not for 100% originate from your website given its domain name.
However, Google may let their Chrome browser show your domain name in the address bar and even suggest that a server-authenticated and encrypted valid https connection is being used (proving the authenticity of your website, which is then fully broken).
Google may even force other browser makers (such as Mozilla, sponsored by Google) to do the same.

@SteveRudolfi I hate that last line "The question isn’t how to stop this from happening, it’s how to make sure your parts are the ones AI wants to work with."

#SEO #Google #AI #enshittificationFYI, this article misstates how a #patent works :
"This isn’t a feature announcement, it’s a patent, meaning Google has legally protected the ability to do this."
A patent holder may arguably prohibit others from using that patent.
However, a patent holder must still follow any laws and regulations when using that patent. A patent is not permission to break laws / contracts / etc. -

No, a patent holder must still follow the law.
