Best of luck. In my experience, Google isn't dying, it's still providing excellent results. Sure, one has to use an adblocker to tolerate the results page, but who doesn't nowadays? More importantly, I have a feeling I understand how it works (which may or may not be true -- but to me it feels like I do) and so I can tailor each search and refine it until it points to what I need. I also don't expect it to answer questions directly, only to point to sources of information. And honestly, how hard is it to restrict a search to wikipedia for raw information, or to stackoverflow for programming questions, etc.? I am extremely wary of "AI" things because usually they are unpredictable -- except that they always guess wrong. I would never have thought I would regret bureaucrats and bank tellers, but AI chatbots did this. I hate those with the fire of a million suns.
