There are probably categories of searches were ChatGPT will be either one par or better than Google (and if the results are on par then ChatGPT is superior because it's one less click, one less ad spammy website to visit, no hunting for what you were looking for once you get to the site, etc) As an example, someone on HN posted a tweet of a guy who asked ChatGPT to draft a letter announcing a layoff while also announcing several executive promotions and quoting MLK Jr. Obviously, the example is facetious but the results were actually pretty good. Certainly good enough for a starting point or template for a real layoff announcement. I'm sure this is a miniscule amount of total search volume but there are a category of searches for letter templates (think cover letters, resignation letter, etc) that ChatGPT could seriously replace today. And ChatGPT is actually better because of how specific you can get (e.g. "with an MLK quote"). I don't think LLMs are a threat to traditional search today or even in the short term but what will ChatGPT 50 (or equivalent) look like in 20 years...
