Do you recommend it doing it 10 years after?

Well, I see a big problem with this release.

Let's imagine a user journey:

User makes a request and then there's text, no ads (for now) no links to get you out of search page. So where does Adwords get triggered if there are no linked events? Then advertisers will see a drop in traffic because Google is literally giving the answer instead of making people click to search. This will accelerate the cycle of reducing ad spending, which will make things more difficult for Search. Then SEO marketers and basically all the web industry around Google will see a massive impact as well, because they cannot "optimize" anything that makes people click. The main problem is the dependency of Google on ads (60% of revenue). I see Bard as a negative downwards trend that will decimate the company even further.

You could make a similar argument about companies with "infinite" resources that reached the highest peaks of technology at the moment and nowadays are mostly irrelevant: IBM, Xerox, Nokia, Blackberry, Yahoo... Maybe the question is, why do you think Google is different from these companies?

so gaming addiction is also a silly argument?
