> it shows me the source and I can click on the link to verify the source ... (search engine use case)

To me, this is exactly a search engine. I type my query into 2005-2015 Google, I scan the page summaries under the links to see the answer, and click the best-looking result to confirm or read the details. Occasionally you need to re-word your query to get the answer you're looking for. Sometimes I don't bother clicking through because the answer is right there.

I don't really care that I can use plainer English with an "AI"; I'd be happier if I just got 2010 Google back. But sadly, it's gone.
