I still think LLMs displacing search will have hugely negative consequences for the heath of the internet. Yes, a lot of Google results are seo garbage now, but there's value in interacting directly with the source of a piece of information. LLMs alienate people from those sources, and that threatens the structure of the information economy on the internet. Why share anything if OpenAI is just going to train on your data and cut you out of the transaction?

Those of us that make use of all the google operators sure as hell ain't abandoning it. If anything, it will provide augmented results where appropriate and explicit results where appropriate. Otherwise, we'll switch to a competitor that does.
