Well of course Google directs searches to crappy AI-generated results because those sites are selling ads supplied by Google's ad network. 

I think a key moment for Google and the future of the web was when they realised that they could use their market dominance to sell more ads by supplying degraded search results.

The interests of the search company and the ad sales company are aligned, because they're the same company.
