Will Google Search Be the Next to Join Killed by Google?

Oof where is this guy finding an LLM that is a reliable source of information? Most times when I ask an LLM a question about something or bother to look at the AI results in Google I find a lot of incorrect information and linked sources that do not contain any part of the answer they were cited for.

Interesting idea that Google Search will be the backend for ai chats.

Many AI services and crawlers scan sites more intensively than Google Search. I've seen this myself in Google Analytics.

It's clear that LLMs are improving faster than search engines are capable of. We live in a world where ChatGPT is now able to count the number of 'r's in "Strawberry", and next year, funding permitting, it may be able to count them in "Raspberry" as well.

As search is mostly a solved problem, this sort of growth is unfeasible, so where does that leave search in a growth economy? We need to keep chasing that dragon.

REMEMBER: We're not here to produce things to be used, but rather things that increase usage!

Search is a mostly solved problem? It seems more like the opposite is true.

Search lost the battle to spam and is approaching death.

That sounds exploitative and dystopian.

Google Search seems like a finished product that has been making money for years without much investment in research. AI chat systems, however, are currently spending heavily on research and development, and it's unclear what the final product will look like or how AI will generate revenue in the end.

Interesting speculation. It is possible.
