I like it. However, I think it's a way to get around a previous "problem" search engines had. They want to be a search engine and get all the money. They don't want to actually direct people to go to other sites because that costs them money.
They at first were letting webpages share a fair amount of relevant info on the search page because then people didn't actually click since the people got their question answered. That got shut down.
So. Now they have AI provide a description from many sites and that is too general for most entities to have a chance of legal standing to sue. I don't think the search engine companies are being fancy; I think it's their latest attempt to ensure being a middle man pays and the money never goes anywhere else.
