> The quarterly earnings statements

That (Earnings Call 2023/Q2) says that “search and other” revenue rose to $42.63 billion, up slightly from last year.

Doesn't sound like a big growth story to me. Also it would be interesting to know what "other" means.

Where do you get the traffic numbers from?

Maybe you are in a bubble?

Again, doesn't say anything about traffic, just revenue.

Traffic would be interesting, because it's not that impacted by other factors such as inflation, recessions etc.

It's also important to note that search revenue is not positively impacted by organic searches, which I'd guess would be the majority of what ChatGPT replaces currently.

USD exchange rates affects the earning statements more than ChatGPT (which has about 1.5% queries of Google search iirc)
