Why do you think it is "harmful to their search/ad business"?
I see as enhancement. It will not be long before Word and Google Docs is using AI to help people write copy, correct, and translate documents. Those are just the ones I can think of and I'm not that smart. Do you really think either Google or M$ will allow a 3rd party to control something that is integrated into their products? Only companies that are out of business do things like that.
Because there are less opportunities to show ads with a chatbot, especially if its voice based. From a user perspective it’s an enhancement. From a revenue perspective, it’s harmful
