I used perplexity for some time. These days, I have claude and chatgpt. They search on my behalf. Sometimes I still do a Google search but I mostly just use it if I want to open a website that I don't remember the url of.

And it’s not like they can stop the long-term move towards AI from traditional search engines.

All they can do is try to compete with their own AI. Otherwise OpenAI and Anthropic will run away with it.

But the search revenue is growing at a high speed.

The article wording is just unfortunate.

The non-misleading title would be: "Google Cloud growing way faster than other sources of Alphabet revenue".
