Report: Google will cut off Search for schools that reject AI in K-12 software

The poster calls out companies going "all evil" with dark patterns, citing a New York Times report: Google will disable AI tools in its K-12 education software early next year unless administrators explicitly opt in — but schools that restrict AI entirely will also lose access to Google Search. VP of education Chris Phillips said "Search and A.I. are deeply integrated," so students at banning schools "will not have access to search." Critics see this as forced bundling that pressures schools into adopting AI.
