Google admits AI search makes less money, plans more ads
Original: Google admits AI search makes less money, but it's fixing that with more ads Google's negative cash flow balloons to -$9
Google has acknowledged that its AI-powered search generates less revenue than traditional search, and says it will respond by introducing more advertising. The admission came as the company reported negative cash flow of $9.06 billion in Q3 earnings, sending its stock price tumbling. The results have intensified debate over whether AI search features can ever be as profitable as the ad model they are replacing.
Why now: Google's Q3 earnings showed ballooning negative cash flow and a falling stock price, raising doubts about the profitability of its AI search push.
