I don't like that they want to supplant the existing paradigm... Wikipedia is a human-generated information layer that teachers have always warned should not be cited directly (for one thing, it is continually being edited so what the reader sees is often different than what the person citing it saw). Google seems intent on making it more and more difficult to get past their interpretation of what the Web said down to the actual discourse occurring between different sources on the Web.

The existence of such tools is not something I object to so much as the removal of the self-directed search option.

This is absolutely about controlling the narrative.

Yup control the narrative and also lock you into an ecosystem. You will interface w/ Google on devices that Google approves and software that Google allows you to use.
