Google Search Faces New Competition and Traffic Decline

Imagine the internet like a big library, and Google is the main way people find books (websites).

Now, new 'smart assistants' powered by AI can give you answers directly, like a librarian who just tells you the story instead of showing you the book.

This is causing less people to visit the 'library' in general.

Some companies that relied on people visiting their sites through Google are struggling, while other companies, like the ones that run Facebook and Instagram are doing well, because people use their sites in other ways.

AI is changing how we use the internet, making some winners and losers.
