maybe not search engines, but it has totally replaced stackoverflow and google for searching for docs or even wikipedia in some sense (e.g. make alpha blend between two argb uint32 pixels)

google has been going progressively worse to find what i need, sometimes i even have to go to second page, wasting time clicking on bullshit markov chain seo sites to find out how to parse date in whatever new language i am learning

with chatgpt: parse a date from string in the v programming language, try googling that
