On one hand, I hardly touch a search engine any more. On the other, it's still a fairly common occurrence that I can give someone out in the world their ChatGPT experience.

I'm super curious to see how this ("the end of internet search as we know it") plays out with non-techy users. I strongly suspect that Google is "search" to many non-techy users the way that Internet Explorer was "the internet" to that same group.

Which I suppose leads to an obvious answer: device defaults will absolutely dictate what ends up being the go-to.

I think the sad thing is that you just don’t need search engines any more because there is too much conglomeration. There’s basically like three kinds of websites. Companies, Social Media, and Wikipedia.

It's just a matter of habit. It's all going to change once it is free and easily available to non-tech users. I wouldn't be surprised if using voice for communication with these bots started to be finally used. You just going to conversate with your own private search curator.

I have never used an LLM for anything. I use search engines dozens of times a day.

I am at the point I just browse arXiv because everything else sounds like bullshit.

Not that arXiv doesn't contain bullshit also but outside of that, in English at least, the internet has completely failed.
