When it comes to search Google needs to do something. Asking LLM chat questions + asking for sources of information works better for me then Google search responses, cluttered with sponsored links/infomercial/spam blogs, etc. We are at the moment Google search was introduced, Lycos, Alta Vista, Yahoo Search, etc. had to give the ground to the new player, now we are at the beginning of the next cycle. One more thing that kills Google is social media and European GDPR regulation - those two factors are connected, as they destroyed "the old Internet". Nobody blogs anymore because it is much easier to get attention by posting on social media (slight exaggeration, but still...). GDPR made having an independent forum a nightmare. Right to be forgotten, data export on demand, data accuracy requirement. Big players can afford all this stuff (and it is not easy, I've been through that), hobbyist forum rather not, besides, it is easier to create Facebook (Meta) group or Twitter (X) community. As a result Google crawler does not have too much value content to read. Yes, there are niches, like StackOverflow, so Google is a nice search engine on top of SO content. Until SO people will decide that free lunch is over, they will train their own AI to make some bucks.
