> what am I missing? Why would a chatbot like ChatGPT disrupt Google vs forcing Google to simply evolve.

Because it's not clear yet whether anyone else can currently develop a chatbot interface as capable as ChatGPT.

For many ChatGPT is already replacing a lot of Google searches so G needs to hurry.

For many? Citation needed. Yes there is a lot of hype, but is it really replacing a lot of Google searches, if so is that your anecdote or is there data here?

Yes, sorry that's an anecdote of me and everyone I know that has tried ChatgGPT. Obviously in the grand scheme of things this is nothing, but if other early adopters behave similarly it is a great threat to Google because if it catches early adopters then everyone else will follow after a while.
