If a really good, dynamic chat-like agent can answer your questions/queries and has been trained on some large, relevant subset of the Web, it kind of short circuits the whole "search engine" concept. Why would I want to have to shovel through pages of crap when I can have my ChatGPT AI bro just let me know the critical things I am asking about?

I wonder how this will play out long term.

Product review sites won't be worth it since there will be less reason for users to click through to your site. Google can put their affiliate code in the answer. Probably not a huge loss as most of these are seo spam sites anyway.

SAAS and service websites might be able to get better rankings then?
