The article mentions but then bypasses how the ai summaries link out to aggregation websites which seem to be showing AI summaries themselves, which in turn link out to other sources than the original. The problem is therefore not only google’s ai summaries, but also the ease that ai enables these other sites to publish with the speed they do (fully automatic probably), and they’re probably optimized to be featured in ai summaries.
That’s not a fight they’re going to win by writing higher quality content, and it’s only going to get worse. I’m not sure what remediation there is.
