I, on the other hand, switched to ChatGPT on 80% of my Google queries. I still use Google for index searches (ie what's that website's domain?) but not for knowledge searches, which is what I do most of the time when "searching". Google cannot maneuver their legacy business fast enough to compete, nor safe enough not to risk cannibalizing their own revenue stream. And Google search is not just one product anyway, but a portmanteau of shopping assistant, live tickers, calculator, condensed Wikipedia, etc. OpenAI, or the next LLM business, really has a shot as a knowledge query disruptor - and then some. It's the most powerful software sidekick I've ever had, and the idea of an AI sidekick market is a card that trumps that of any index search on steroids. When you go to the library, sometimes you know the book/author, and that's both the librarian and googles domain. But most of the time you want the knowledge, which libraries are terrible at helping you out. Now we got the sage. Once the sage gives not only the wisdom but the way to the wisdom (citations, links, recommendations) then it's whole new ballgame. Live data from the web, index searches etc. are all add-ons in this new ballgame. "Plugins", like what chatGPT does with tabular data, will be added with time, making the search business completely obsolete.
