Well, not Google specifically -- I have terrible luck finding what I want with Google -- but yes, I'll still use search engines. Summaries or genAI searching doesn't even come close to meeting my needs for 80% of my web searches.


LLMs are garbage that will never replace keyword search. This article shares my opinions on the matter: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10676-024-097...

Google is supposed to have competitors but they keep disappearing mysteriously. This is a good article about that: https://archive.org/details/search-timeline
