The wall of links is what pays Google ad money. Website owners pay a lot of money to be presented on top of the search results because of that.

I would assume it’s quite difficult to keep making the same amount of ad money by having a ChatGPT competitor. If the AI can already answer most user questions, then no one will click on the ad. Maybe there could be a clever way to include an ad into the reply text but that will make it hard to include multiple ads - so overall there will be less money.
