Why does search need to be AI? I've had no problems finding any information I wanted under the former process.

It's the same playbook as ever. Doubt can only be explained by ignorance, failure can only be explained by under-committing,

The only way to have a "valid" opinion is to have already bought-in and be actively selling other people on it. It's the same mentality as a cult or a pyramid scheme.
