The only Google-killing aspect of it is a better understanding of user queries.

Although given how often I have to remind it of the details of my questions, maybe it's not even good at that.

Given it has probably "hardcoded" a lot of questions by the usage of "finetuning" via RL, probably the latter statement is true. Also it has one way only to understand your query. If that way is wrong: welcome synonyms replaced by the tokenizer, welcome hallucinations by raising the temperature. Or you can introduce "context" (8000 tokens) or retrain.

No, lack of ads. Before content marketing, Google was pretty useful

How do you think it's going to be monetized, if not by ads?

In what sense? Google has many revenue streams -- the year is 2023, not 1997. Just HAVING the number one search engine without ad revenues brings mind share, intelligence on trends, what people are searching for, advanced notice on possible disasters...the list is endless.
