So I see Google has entered its full "well if you're going to threaten us with antitrust we'll just take the whole internet down with us" tantrum phase, huh?
The short version is Google is allegedly paying "small publishers" to use an algogen tool to produce large quantities of regurgitated content. The "publishers" (I would say "regurgitators" except... no) pick a list of target websites to scrape, and then:
When any of these indexed websites produce a new article, it appears on the platform dashboard. The publisher can then apply the gen AI tool to summarize the article, altering the language and style of the report to read like a news story.
