Say Bye to Free Search Engine – Google’s AI Search Engine Could be a Paid Service Now

The recent report dropped surprising news, stating that Google Premium Features will be announced soon. Which led to the headline “Google’s Paid AI Search Engine.” On Wednesday, the Financial Times reported that officials plan to transform their AI Search Engine with more exciting capabilities. So, get ready to experience a bunch of new elements, and let’s see how far it will take their audience.

Google’s Paid AI Search Engine – Premium Features by Google

Google’s Paid AI Search Engine includes Premium Features by the Platform. Currently, you can access Gemini AI through the premium subscription; the officials plan to accelerate their services in the future. However, if we analyze the situation, it’s the first time Google plans to make its search engine a paid service.

The primary reason behind this crucial step is that the Google team is worried and conscious about their “Advertisement Business”. AI and technology are growing rapidly, so they don’t want to affect their ad business. Perhaps, after several catchups with the board members, they have landed on this plan to launch Premium Features by Google. That will be available only exclusively at Google’s Paid AI Search Engine.

“Last Year Google Reported $175 Billion in Revenue” – ChatGPT Threatened Google

The report says Google generated over 175 Billion USD in 2023 through advertisements and searches. Accounting for almost 60% of the company’s total revenue. As OpenAI announced ChatGPT earlier in 2022, it has been a powerful threat against Google since November 2022. The GPT series is more competent, easy to use, and comes up with excellent responses in no time. However, it has affected Google search usage, which has caused a big drop in Google’s revenue.

Moreover, it is quite visible that Google is lagging in adding exceptional search engine features. The features that can give tough competition to ChatGPT or other AI bots. Which is why the idea came “Google’s Paid AI Search Engine”, where they will be offering premium services such as AI snapshots.

Official Statement Regarding Paid AI Search Engine

“We’re not working on or considering an ad-free search experience. As we’ve done many times before. We’ll continue to build new premium capabilities and services to enhance our subscription offerings across Google,”. The company told Reuters in an emailed statement.

Will Google’s traditional search engine remain free?

Yes, Google’s traditional search engine will still be free of cost. However, even if you are a paid subscriber, advertisements will continue to appear in your search results.
