We've all seen Google's AI overviews in our search results (or at least those of us using Google). You'll also have seen the reported decline in click-throughs this has prompted as for many searchers, people find the AI overview sufficient for their needs.

Content providers of all sorts) are seeing a decline in traffic to their websites, as Google (essentially) centralises the provision of information....

The Q. is: what can be done to counter this diversion of internet traffic?

There are two separate issues here that are dependent on perspective. For websites the issue is reduced traffic from Google searches. For searchers the issue is increasing extraneous "information" to wade through.

FWIW, as a searcher, you can put "-ai" at the end of your search parameters in Google to omit the AI chaff.
