But how will this look and work in Google Bard or Google's chat assistant? That is yet to be seen.

Gary Illyes reported said that Google may have its own approach to sending traffic to publishers. Gary also said they want to keep the status quo of sending traffic to publishers.

Here is that tweet:

I am excited to see what this looks like, for better or worse...
