How Meta got Google search results in its AI chatbot.

I noticed that Google is now helping with real-time knowledge in Meta AI. I think you’re the only assistant that has Google and Bing. I’m surprised that Google especially is outsourcing search to another AI assistant when they have Gemini. Did it surprise you that they were willing to do that?

I guess I wouldn’t have been surprised if they didn’t want to do it. But it seems like they are building up a whole model around this, so it makes sense. It’s good for Google. It shows Google prominently and links to Google. They pay Apple a ton of money for distribution. They’re not paying us. So, I think it’s good for them on that.

Are you paying them then?

There’s not a ton of money flowing either way.
