Bing Tried It, Failed - Will Google Make the Same AI Mistake?

bloggerabhilash · May 27, 2025

As someone who works in SEO daily, I'm seeing a pattern that should worry google...

Bing was the first search engine to force users to use Copilot (like google AI Mode). However, after a months, they shifted back to traditional search and made Copilot a side option. The reason in most cases, Copilot proved to be unhelpful.

The same issue applies to google's AI Mode - in most cases, it's also unhelpful. If Google forces users to use AI Mode, google will likely face significant decline.

Why track rankings for results nobody clicks?

Most SEO professionals rely on tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, and Moz to track keyword rankings. But if Google forces AI Mode and users stop clicking traditional search results, these tracking tools become useless.

And yes, if Google wants to force its poor AI mode, then first remove the 'AI responses may include mistakes' disclaimer. google can't force users into something while admitting it's unreliable.

Mark Zuckerberg is probably enjoying Google's AI Mode push... because he knows that if google loses traffic due to poor AI Mode, then businesses will shift their advertising budgets to Facebook ads, especially since Google ads are already expensive.

Thoughts? Am I missing something, or is this the beginning of a major shift in search?

Google is a churn & burn project that worked. They keep doing silly things once in a while either to collect data or to test new features. The monopoly helped them sustain for long. If I'm not wrong, they are using AI responses to check user behaviour. If most users are comfortable with AI, then they might shift their ads into AI snippets instead of traditional advertising. The future of search results is mostly single page static content that offers what Google considers worthy. There will be very little control for users to explore web content.

You're absolutely right about the data collection angle, google is definitely using us as beta testers. But here's what concerns me most...

if they succeed in creating that 'single page static content' future you described, we're looking at the death of the open web.

and here's the problem if AI responses become the main interface, SEO dies, keyword tracking tools become worthless, and the entire SEO ecosystem collapses.

this is a problem for the owners of those tools... or, rather, that ecosystem. It's not a problem for normal people who are ostracized and kept poor and miserable anyway. And if you're sad that the already rich stop getting richer that's not a healthy attitude. In any normal society every human being has a minimum of their human rights met at all times, that allow him/her to live completely free, healthily, happily, and have whatever they need to live well and cozy (breathable air, clean drinkable water, food, shelter, free and unlimited healthcare, clothing). EVERY human should have all of these by default, wealth, power and influence monopolization are NOT good and only benefit a few scumbags whose hands these things are in, and that's not good for everyone else that doesn't have access to power and good living...

The reason I'm saying this is because the owners of these tools and most SEOs that still afford doing SEO are already rich or can live comfortably for decades if this system (or ecosystem as you call it) collapses, so let it collapse! As a matter of fact, over the next 50 we will see system after system, after system collapsing. Everything that's segregational, isolationist, manipulative, etc will collapse at some point between now and the next 50 years, and that's good.

This is called progress and heading towards real civilization, and real civilizations don't use money or other currencies, their members all have the same basic necessities met by default and at all times, free of charge, and for all eternity. THIS is what normal societies look like, and - if we want to get there - we need to let these limited / limiting ecosystems collapse. ALL OF THEM! Yes, many of us will die in the process (we will perish as collateral damage as the anglophones like to justify their murdering tendencies by), it sucks (I am probably one of those that will perish first since I am so weak normally). but that's what we're heading towards, so be prepared for everything to collapse over the next 50 years or so because it will happen! The banks will collapse, the governments will collapse, the pharma industry will, SEO will, the slaughtering of animals for meat will collapse, the oil industry will collapse, etc... all of these shackles of the past will fall, and some of us will catch the downfall and the aftermath of them collapsing, while others won't. But it will happen regardless, these scams have lasted for too long... oh, the corporations will collapse too, by 2030 I don't think there will be a single company - big or small - left standing, so use this info to your advantage as the future belongs to indies and communities, the faces in suits and managers and share holders and all of these will perish along with the decorporatization of the world...

Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that you understand and know that all of these systems will collapse soon, and that you plan for the future and prepare yourself (both mentally and materialistically, not financially as I think that financial currencies will all be history by 2040, including the crypto scam) to hold up for as long as you can, because the future is devoid of all of these shackles, so we need to figure out how to live without them or we will perish in the aftermath of these collapses if we can't adapt...

You raise important questions about inequality and who really benefits from current systems. it's true that seo tool owners and big tech companies will survive economic shifts better than most people. but i think you're conflating two different issues the collapse of specific business models versus total societal collapse.

When i talk about keyword tracking tools becoming worthless, i'm not mourning billionaires losing money - i'm concerned about the thousands of small business owners, freelance marketers, and agencies who depend on these tools to make a living. these aren't all wealthy elites; many are regular people trying to build something.

that's because the 2 of them are interconnected (SEO is part of society)

they'll adapt or perish, that's what I've been saying. The times that come are for the better of mankind despite of the collateral damage we will incur in the process. It's sad for the few that will get affected, but it's for the greater good of everyone (minus the few greedy and evil bastards that want to preserve the status quo just for their selfish benefits)

yeah, but those people are still having it rough anyway, and the current systems are hopeless for them, so these unfortunate souls will suffer regardless
