I think that this
is a nice way of selling advertisers more expensive impressions because the "clicks are higher quality now".
I'd pose that this is because 90% of internet users doesn't verify anything and simply believes that what the internet says is true, just like they believe that what the news anchor says is true.

How does google make money off its AI Overviews? With Adsense, they make money from traffic going to people's sites (at least that's how I understand it). So if they produce a tool that causes less traffic on people's sites, it seems like that would be a net bad for Google -- and I imagine they can measure this pretty easily. Are they able to make money off AI Overviews in same way that more than makes up for any decrease in revenue from adsense that it might cause?

I don't think they're trying to make money off of it, yet. I think every company is trying to become the "default" AI engine. once they have consumer lock-in, then they can think about monetization.

Okay, so it's market capture or something. They very much might be willing to nuke their adsense revenue in order to secure some large prize. Google is big enough, they must have a whole lot of paid positions thinking about what they are doing here.

This is totally fake.
Everyone in the industry knows that this is not true at all.
