With maybe one exception, search engines are already replacing themselves. They're "answer" engines now, but that's really a pretense for stealing content and telling the user what their interests are. While that might line someone's pockets, turns out that's not really useful for much other than the casual normie trivia question. ChatGPT is an actual question engine. Even if ChatGPT doesn't live on in its current form, the institution of ChatGPT is the future of asking the internet a question and getting an answer. That and many other things, including (non)human relationships. I hope it succeeds in making The Google's questionable value proposition all that much more clear. Yet if it goes down the road that The Google went, things can become much worse. I can't imagine governments are going to just sit back and relax while the next generation of manufacturing consent is manifesting before them.
