Google has search results still? I don't use Google much anymore (thanks Kagi), but this is what ends up showing for me, I don't even see any search results anymore: https://i.imgur.com/eHIA2Df.png It seems like it's 50/50 on page reload if the LLM-reply UI expands automatically or not, which covers my entire screen. I guess Google is doing some A/B testing perhaps.
They should investigate if placing these search results above the limit of the screen/canvas height might lead to more people seeing them.
If I wanted to read an AI response to a query, I would use that tool specifically - I consider them different tools entirely.
It's definitely taken some time to get into the habit - perhaps defaulting to Google as the search engine was my first mistake.
However, most people I've seen run a quick search DO in fact just read the AI response (often with a caveat of "this is just from AI but..." which I appreciate), because for a lot of things it IS good enough or exactly what they needed.
Anyone who does a search and accepts the first answer just doesn't care much or is incompetent. Anyone with any critical thinking whatsoever does way more than that if they want a correct answer.
