Valid point. Though personally I've had my duckduckgo, bravesearch, and searxng eras.

Google search is still fundamental to various LLM quality.

When I started using local LLM, the lack of websearch made the LLM hallucinate like mad. Get websearch enabled and you start getting good answers.

looking at my history. i only websearch about ~10 times a day. Far greater LLM requests now.

>I feel like this is a big shift that isn't going away. And now I see Google getting rid of people in search. So is this the beginning of the end? Or will Google just morph into something else.

Obviously Gemini and Gemma are things as well.

I just asked Grok what search engine they use and they said Google but grok doesnt stick to just google.

It's not that search engines will die and disappear, you'll just be interacting with them from a new interface.
