"The company remains trapped in its “10 blue links” jail, even as the world moves toward direct, conversational AI interfaces."

I don't want conversational AI interfaces. I like search.

If I lose that because it's a losing model, then so be it. But I don't see the point in telling Google to follow somebody else's trend.

They suck in so many ways, but this doesn't add to it. I find this kind of "what have you done for me lately" just a little weird. They have done zillions of crappy things and a dozen earth shaking ones. If the next earth shaking one comes from someone else I don't see any point in waggling my finger at Google over it.
