Do you think Google Discover on desktop will help publishers recover traffic lost to AI-generated overviews?

With the rollout of Google Discover to desktop, many publishers are hopeful about regaining some of the traffic lost to AI Overviews and generative search results. Discover curates personalized content based on user interests and browsing behavior—directly feeding articles, blogs, and videos to the user’s homepage. As AI-generated summaries and answers increasingly dominate traditional search results, websites have seen dips in organic traffic. This desktop expansion could be a breath of fresh air, offering visibility and clicks to human-created content once again.
 
But will it be enough to balance the impact of Google's own AI? That’s the big question. For now, content creators and media houses are cautiously optimistic, seeing Discover as a new window of opportunity. What’s your take? Join this poll and share your opinion—does this move restore hope for publishers, or is it just a temporary patch?
