Is there any indication they're willing to improve on google in terms of e.g. excluding commercial results? If not it's not clear how this improves anything. Google has been excellent at semantic search for a long time; the issue has been the lack of controls to filter out the SEO bullshit and to remove the AI stuff from the top and the right of the results. It's been way too easy to game search with sufficient funding for well over a decade now and the AI-generated crap is a long way from production-ready (in terms of quality; obviously it generates something).
