I think after a little while, ai should be integrated into searches rather than replace it.

Let's say I type a question in on Google. Everything appears to be the same, but with an additional link to AI's answer to your question.

For one, ai is expensive in processing power. So it only processes it when you click the link. This would be more efficient than it it having to process an answer for every search.

For 2, people are using chatgpt regardless. It will just be easier and cleaner having it built right into a search engine.
