Search engines are and anomaly. They started as indexes of content and have remained in that form. I still have to do all the work of synthesising the knowledge I need from the results. It’s like having to go through the list of references of a scientific paper or Wikipedia article without having access to the article itself. ChatGPT is giving you the article, it summarised that knowledge for you, a much effective way of getting what you actually want. The ideal would be a combined system where I get my answer and also the relevant references that shaped it.
