Brad Erickson: 我认为谷歌在生成式AI方面面临挑战,因为其商业模式依赖于蓝色链接的货币化。虽然谷歌声称其AI概述的货币化程度与现有业务持平,但很难找到与AI概述合作的广告商。未来商业模式的正确方向存在巨大争议,互联网的免费特性与用户付费订阅之间存在冲突。谷歌最大的优势在于其庞大的用户群体,理论上可以轻松地向数十亿用户推广其AI工具。尽管谷歌的点击增长放缓,但其收入增长仍然强劲,这表明AI正在提高转化率。谷歌的估值具有吸引力,因为所有风险都已公开,并且即将到来的催化剂可能会推动股价上涨。苹果公司高管在宣誓后发表评论,以及谷歌对此的回应,引发了市场对谷歌搜索业务的担忧。新的浏览器可以像聚合器一样,为用户提供更全面的价格发现和购物体验。人们对AI代理的信任需要时间建立,谷歌有一定的发展空间。
