Could Google’s best anti-trust defense be to play up its coming irrelevance?

Apple SVP of Services Eddy Cue said last week that AI will one day replace search engines like Google.

Cue said he expects Safari to eventually swap out Google for AI services from up-and-comers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity.

Which of course brings to mind the Twain-ism, “the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

In the long run, Google’s 10 Blue Links™ approach is likely dead, a former monopoly. But how long is that long run?
