If it helps, I could have written this comment just about word for word, and you can check my account and see that I’m clearly human.

I would probably add that I’m nervous about AI search results and how it affects the future of the internet and content creation in general, but from the perspective of a user, I’m pleased with the direction.

From the HN guidelines:

Then take it from my account that is years old, as I also hold the same opinion that the AI overview is very useful to me as like the parent it usually contains exactly the information I need.

My account is older than yours by a decade and I also like the AI overview more often than not, or rather, I instinctively know when to skip it depending on my query.

I think the greater issue in this discussion is that the TechCrunch author, like most blogger/journalists are facing a complete erasure of their business model and have a vested interest at opposing this

As not a Large Language Model, I also like the AI overview feature.
