Why AI search engines can't kill Google

This article mentions the primary difficulty I have with the notion that AI can replace search engines.

People who think they can aren't using search engines as search engines. They're using search engines to find a specific answer to a specific question. That use case may very well be one that AI can do better.

However, that's not what a search engine is meant to do. A search engine is meant to find web sites that are related to the search term, and provide a list of them. It's an entirely different use case that constitutes most of what I want to do.

I have this theory that most searches are for the tld of sites. I guess most tools could replace those querries.

>In actual reality, this is a search engine’s primary job: to get you to a website.

That's because they turned the address bar into a search bar.

Auto complete would be enough in most cases.

Google has already killed Google search for anything that isn't a Google property.
