Chegg, an American educational company, has accused Google of disincentivising original content "in favor of low-quality, unverified AI summaries"—a recent technology that scrapes information from websites and gives it to the user without having to click into a page.
In a lawsuit filed on Monday (via Reuters) Chegg argues Google's AI overview will lead to a "hollowed-out information ecosystem of little use and unworthy of trust". This announcement coincides with Chegg's declaration of its full-year financial results for 2024, which it put out to the public via a press release.
