The post-search Google era begins

Key points

• Google is many things, but most of the time it’s a verb: It is what it is to search the internet for information.
• But what if it’s an AI agent doing the searching?
• And it’s doing it proactively?
• Without even telling you about it?
• In the world Google imagines, in which so much of the actual googling happens without your prompting, involvement, or even knowledge, can you even call Google a search engine anymore?
