> But what Perplexity is doing when they crawl my content in response to a user question is that they are decreasing the probability that this user would come to by content (via Google, for example).

Perplexity has source references. I find myself visiting the source references. Especially to validate the LLM output. And to learn more about the subject. Perplexity uses a Google search API to generate the reference links. I think a better strategy is to treat this as a new channel to receive visitors.

The browsing experience should be improved. Mozilla had a pilot called Context Graph. Perhaps Context Graph should be revisited?

This seems like a missing feature for analytics products & the LLMs/RAGs. I don't think searching via an LLM/RAG is going away. It's too effective for the end user. We have to learn to work with it the best we can.
