The recent success of ChatGPT shows that the current search experience is likely deprecated. With LLMs, you can get information immediately that directly answers your query.

ChatGPT has its limits too though - it's not always right, you don't have options other than to re-ask or regenerate if the one answer doesn't satisfy what you need, we're limited to only text, and the experience may be just a bit too contained/convergent. It feels like it's going to take another product or iteration to really get there.

The question I keep asking - what does the future of problem-solving and finding knowledge on the internet look like in an ideal world given the tools that we have or could now build?

Not as long as they're relying on humans to write pages with that information in. When nobody visits, what's the point in writing a page?

I keep looking for a coherent answer to that question, but have never seen one so far, these are unimportant details that are swept under the AI enthusiasm rug.
