Agree that charging on a link is bad. I'd even argue, that if you are going to charge for linking to an article, then I'd expect no ads on that site.
But, anything beyond a link starts to open up questions for me.
Who even uses Google's AI summarize feature for articles? For me, most of the time it's been because the pop-up for it jumped in the way for me and it was an accidental click. When I have intentionally used it, it's been a pretty poor summary and misses key nuances that make the article unique compared to other publishers.
Taking a step back further, I don't know who is asking for this feature. What's the target market here?
Also, perhaps I'm wrong here but I don't think anyone would want an AI summarized version of other types of media like songs or movies.
