Why are people here saying things like "everyone will use chatgpt"? How do we know that this isn't a fad?

Chatgpt gives us answers, but so do the top linked articles in a search engine. Why bother adjusting to something different if we already have something that solves the problem?

For most people, the marginal amount of time saved by using chatgpt instead of a search engine is borderline meaningless. It might be useful for lawyers to quickly tl;dr dry legal documents, but general use seems far fetched to me
