I feel like Google is trying to speedrun killing their search service. It was already significantly shittier lately just because of all the sponsored bullshit and SEO spam, but this rush to cash in on the AI fad has really destroyed the last utility it had.

The average user does not care. They will still use Google.

If hoards of a people can change from IE to Phoenix / Firefox, and from Firefox to Chrome, I have faith that is possible to get people to abandon Google search.

Everybody will eventually notice when it becomes useless.
