A ton of the early discourse about ChatGPT was as an outright Google killer. It mostly hasn't really panned out that way; there's some overlap but the web ain't dead yet. If nothing else, search is a necessary input to the machine.

Still, nice that Google has woken up, even if the search result quality hasn't improved much.

I can't be the only one that will reach for ChatGPT first over Google for most of my search needs. Stuff like looking for recipes, guides on how to do certain things. From a user perspective, ChatGPT is 100% a Google killer. Search engines may still be powering the AI (for now), but if we aren't exposed to their ads, that's a losing proposition for the incumbants.
