Agreed. I thought the analysis in this article was exceptionally poor.
For example, there is a small section handwaving away the potential impact on the search engine market, saying that ChatGPT has been out a year and hasn't made a sizable dent in Google.
But the thing is, the way ChatGPT interface currently works and the way it is marketed, most people don't even think of it as a "Google replacement" in the first place - except perhaps some techies and folks on HN. But it's not hard to o imagine advancing tech (so LLMs can be more frequently updated) and a rethought UI (and I'm not just talking about plugging in some "ChatGPT-in-Bing"-type interface, either) that could radically change where people go when they want information.
