All they need to do is make a search engine that brings back google results a la the mid 2000s and a mechanism for users to punish those annoying formulaic crap blogs. Google search has become so functionally useless I have to use multiple services and bloody yandex to get a good idea of my results.

Yeah, search results are getting worse and worse. I kinda learned to live with it by subconsciously already knowing what links not to click... But as a new user it must be horrible to get flooded with trash (if they even notice :/)
uBlacklist helps remove some of those links, particularly Pinterest and StackOverflow clones.
Heros sometimes don't wear caps. Thanks mate.
how would the whole SEO factor into all of this new search order?

suppose chatGPT or whatever is taught to ignore SEO, those people will fight tooth and nail to be relevant and keep their jobs of pushing users towards the content THEY want....

will these new search engines reject/punish/hurt SEO? what will happen to that industry?

Good question and not to sound like an ass but that's not our problem and more an SEO one.

Which in my opinion is a good thing.
