Google's public optimism about AI-powered search—framed around user benefits and new capabilities—contradicts private warnings from technologists about labor displacement across white-collar work.

This gap matters because policy and regulation still move on public messaging; when messaging systematically diverges from what builders actually believe, accountability suffers for everyone outside the industry.
