Well no, the title is wrong. Google itself destroyed Google Search. And the Internet does not depend on Google Search. And most of us don't use Google's AI.
Of course there are some real damages, but the title itself is bait click. It's just false at face value. Do better next time.
Sadly, there is an astounding number of ~~stupid~~ ignorant, gullible people who have not been trained in media literacy.
In fact, the problem is so epidemic we should have more organizations that create and proliferate media literacy content.
Such as If a news story sounds dubious, or if you are particularly invested in a story being true, search for other coverage from other news agencies, and (if the story isn't verbatim) check the facts. The details that are consistent between separate coverage are more reliable than the rest.
