Read the article, the ads are part of Google programmes/partnerships with advertisers and are meant to present buyable products that are supposedly relevant to the user's query.
I read the article. My point is that the ads won't be just the ones that the article describes, and clearly separated from the content; eventually they'll become part of the content.
The ad is the content, from Google's viewpoint.
