If your site is all about disseminating information (like Wikipedia), then Google would provide a free mirror of sorts.
If your site is about your product, Google won't be able to serve the sign-up page from AI; the traffic would come your way. Same for a site that sell something: the traffic you're interested in would arrive at your checkout page.
Paid-content sites and ad-supported sites are screwed though, on top of their being screwed by archive.is and ad blockers.
The really confusing part about the ad-supported sites is that most of them are supported by Google's ad products. So Google is eating their own lunch here.
