Google stands to lose enormous revenue from people not using search - and we already see traffic declines. It's truly an existential threat for them. Their competencies are in advertising, and if people are going to be using chatbots in future, they're going to have to advertise in their chatbot. That sounds awful to me, but maybe people will be cool with it?

Google is the next Stack Overflow, but I doubt search will go obsolete obsolete.

Like Facebook, Google is for "old people" now, according to a recent conversation with university students.

(Aside: I didn't appreciate the revelation!)

Same. If I use google, it’s only because the LLMs I’m talking to use it.
