I edited it to change the order of the sentences.

The new search box is arriving this week, and generative UI is arriving this summer. Both are free. The mini-app-building feature and information agents will roll out first to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers this summer.

Combined, these changes will likely further decimate Google referrals to publishers, which have already been suffering from declining referrals due to AI Overviews. This has put some ad-dependent media operations out of business, and now things will likely get worse. There’s little time left for publishers to adapt.

I only scanned article but the new search looks like a nightmare. I don't want a "custom experience". And I do not want google saying "Good morning, InevitableSwing".

Edit

I never thought I'd pay for search but if this is even 1/5th as bad as I'm expecting - once all the shit arrives - I might pay for Kagi. I just want fucking links. I do not want to be managed or manipulated or force-fed AI.
