Using perplexity has easily killed 50% of Google usage for me.
Another behaviour you mention: searching outside of Google. It's impossibile to find decent restaurant tips on Google, for one, because it's a heavily SEO-polluted type of search. So i will simply visits websites i trust and city-search there.
Ver Interesting, but kind of moot as we await an imminent tsunami of AI generated content to render search obsolete. How are we going to be able surface genuinely human interaction from out of the hall of mirrors? Information from trusted individuals only, and these will be few and far between.
I don't think search engine should belong to the government. I think it just should be not for profit. The moment we don't have SEO optimizers and ads that drown the search results, we should be good.
