The thing is, laypeople aren't using anything other than Google Search even for LLM answers.
If I want an LLM answer to "is erythritol bad for you", I'm not firing up ChatGPT. I'm just typing it into Google, and the LLM answer it spits out is pretty good.
ChatGPT needs to be significantly more compelling for most people to use it for one-shot LLM answers over Google Search. And the minute Google removes the one-shottedness of its search answers, it's over for ChatGPT.
Imo ChatGPT is just "a feature not a product", in the search engine space, as the adage goes.
- marcus_holmes 1y agoI have no idea on the data, but anecdotally I'd dispute this. Regular folks in my life (i.e. non-techies) routinely talk to an LLM and use it to answer questions that 5 years ago they'd have searched for. The techies are the ones who are steering clear and sticking with search engines in my experience.
