Yeah, but ChatGPT is the new cool kid on the block everyone's been talking about, and with it being banned from school and academic work, it will increase its cool factor, and the kids will want it even harder.
Meanwhile Google is now your grandpa's search engine and Google knows it, which is why they're in full panic mode to come up with an equally cool competitor.
Ironically Google's search engine was fine up until 2015 or so, when they started to prioritize AI in their search algos. Now, of course, it's a sea of useless SEO spam. It's hard to say if their priorities are wrong, or if they're just losing the arms race against spam. Still, I would pay good money for a search engine as functional as Google in say, 2010.
Itβs an arms race between content creators trying to win an audience and the algorithms trying to surface relevant content. Other trade off is that many people actually prefer the layman blogs than the technically precise information that I personally prefer.
