> 4) SEO will finally die.

I recently search for some generic home appliance term and google's AI Overview blurb ended with "For more information about repairing home devices check samsung.com" (non clickable)

I am sure SEO companies will claim they can make that happen on purpose, and people will pay them for that.

Well I recently also repaired home appliance (washing machine with fault code).

Opened ChatGPT, photographed the machine because I didn't know concrete model, he saw the error code. I told that it also leaked prior to today and it just said: clean the filter.

Did it, and now it continues to work :)

Another bullet point: Father has older Audi, Battery drains fast. Some mechanic said him to check comfort control module - usually does that for those older cars.

While I was measuring how much Amps battery draws and let ChatGPT know what I'm doing, he also tells me the same stuff mechanic did. I hope that mechanic wasn't using ChatGPT :) Anyways, there was no current leak after ripping out comfort control module.
