The thing is, chatGPT seems to be already capable to perform Google's function reasonably well.

If you ask for the top websites about [topic], it will output a shortlist of web links each with a description of the website.

You can narrow down, ask for a specific number of links, ask to exclude videos or specific websites from the results...etc.

If there was a chatGPT service with UI/speed/availability/up-to-date database of Google (a 2-months-old technology vs. a 25-years-old one), I would probably do my searches there almost exclusively.

In a world where we are bombarded by nearly limitless information, the ability to synthesise and focus on what one is already looking for is far more valuable than the breadth of results Google will output.
