Page rank and Bing approach is to emulate Google. That mean building infra and indexing capabilities, for which Google has a very long head start. Not to mention, the cash and resources to keep moving and accelerating.
ChatGPT (and the next one and the next one) are different. They are pre-trained models. They are easy to train to specific sets of data.
I would envisage a future where a lot of walled gardens implement chatGPT for internal search algorithms. And, a federated network of these walled gardens could aggregate search by sharing results from models. This would leads to a search layer that is distributed and compartmentalized, and this is a real threat to Google.

They've also made the conscious decision to be walled gardens so I don't see a federation play. Also, distributed search = incredibly slow search. Having to reach out to dozens or hundreds of backends for each query creates all kinds of problems (latency, reliability). So that leaves us back at each walled garden needing to index web content in order to offer it alongside their own results. Large scale indexing is something Google definitely has a significant lead in, which would take many years to overcome.
