Still, the rate of recovery is unknown, and opinions on this vary with negative possibilities.\nThe comment underlined that in the third quarter of 2024 Baidu's main advertising income dropped by 4%. The researchers estimate that more than half of Baidu's monthly active users and twenty percent of search result pages have engaged with generative artificial intelligence material, which does not now bring in money. Citing poor advertising demand and Baidu's shift away from monetization, the research projected further decreases of 8% and 7% year-over-year in core revenue growth for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 correspondingly.\nManagement's actions determine the timing and size of selling generative AI content; these are still uncertain, the analysts noted.
