While Google certainly has its faults and I am frustrated with its trajectory, I would bet money that this is an article pushing the nonsensical notion that AI language models will replace search engines.

Edit: based on the subtitle, it seems like I am correct.

How is that nonsensical? Seems quite likely to me, especially if they can ground them better in a factual knowledge base. Most search engine queries are looking for information.

Most of the information people are looking for isn't really the sort of thing an LLM is set up to cover though. If I want information on anything since 2021, or to look into stuff near me, or access a price, a download, or information in visual form, or anything that's too niche for its corpus, ChatGPT is not good. When ChatGPT can offer an answer it's fast, but about as reliable as a search engine's spammiest result

And answers as text wrapped around a factual knowledge base just sounds like the sort of queries Google Home already handles in natural language form. That can certainly be improved upon, but it isn't obvious that the LLM engineers will beat the search engineers to it...
