What Google Should Be Worried About

Yeah, but how worried? I mean, Google's portfolio is totally diversified these days: they are the O.G. Search Engine, but Google's properties are so much more than that; there's Mail and Workspaces and YouTube and Calendar and Android phones and Meet and Voice and on and on and on.

For a company whose name is synonymous now with "searching the Internet", how much do they really have to lose if their actual Search product tanks and becomes obsolete/deprecated? They now have myriad ways to get ads in front of our faces, and they've got GCP, and they're selling Workspaces to enterprise-level companies including large universities. They're laying fibre in the street, for crying out loud!

It seems that nerds largely understand that Google Search is already obsolete, GPT or no GPT, and if it does fade into the background, I am confident that Google, and Alphabet as a whole, can soldier on regardless.
