Chegg just sued Google. The reason? AI-generated summaries in search results are eating into its website trafficโ€”and revenue. But hereโ€™s where it gets more interesting... Chegg has relied on Googleโ€™s search engine for years to drive traffic and revenue. Now, Googleโ€™s AI summarizes answers directly in search, meaning fewer people are clicking through to Cheggโ€™s site. And the impact? Brutal. ๐Ÿ“‰ Chegg's stock is now worth just over $1 per share. ๐Ÿ“‰ Revenue fell 24% year over year. ๐Ÿ“‰ Subscriptions dropped 21% in Q4. In response, Chegg is considering big movesโ€”from acquisitions to going private. ๐Ÿ”น But hereโ€™s the twist: Chegg isnโ€™t against AI. Theyโ€™ve partnered with OpenAI, used Metaโ€™s Llama, and integrated models from Anthropic & Mistral into their platform. So, why the lawsuit? Chegg argues that Google is using its content to train AI modelsโ€”then serving competing answers without attribution. Google, on the other hand, insists its AI Overviews improve search for over 1 billion users in 100+ countries. ๐Ÿš€ The bigger picture? AI is redefining search. Companies built on SEO-driven traffic are now facing an existential threat. Will Cheggโ€™s lawsuit change anything? Or is this just the beginning of AI disrupting search-based businesses?
