Plenty of cases where you just want to type something in a search box and see a bunch of different options - like shopping. Let’s say you’re in the market for a keyboard. Would you ask ChatGPT what’s the best keyboard on the market right now, and just buy that? I wouldn’t. I want to see a few different options and I‘m not even someone who enjoys shopping. Where there’s a list of options to display, google will have plenty of room to throw their ads in. If anything Amazon is more of a threat to google, if all online shopping ends up there.

I can search for, find, and order virtually anything I want in less than a minute. Unless an AI is going to anticipate exactly what I need, order it for me, and have it delivered before I even think about it, I don’t see these two things competing much.
