Based on my own usage patterns I don't think this is too implausible. When I do use an LLM chatbot for a "search", I'm almost always gathering initial information to use in one or more traditional search queries to find authoritative sources.
It does kind of contradict my own assumption that most people just take what the chatbot says as gospel and don't look any deeper, but I also generally think it's a bad idea to assume most people are stupid. So maybe there's a bit of a contradiction there.
- bediger4000 1y agoThank you. That's different than my use of AI summaries, which is "ignore them". I know that I want definitive info, so I look for deeper info than a summary immediately. But I also share your assumption about "most people".

- edding4500 1y agoI think it is pretty safe to assume that at least one third of Googles users will take what the chatbot says as gospel and will not look any deeper, just as users previously took the first search result as the verbatim truth.
