I don’t think so. Google is still a search engine first and a question answering machine second. And for the question answering I will still prefer links over a blob of text that can’t be inspected or verified.

Plus, who is going to produce the corpus you feed the magic chat engine?

Like Google can't acquire this or something similar and include it in its results if it's actually a threat.

Google is literally the “Kleenex” of search

Aka “just Google that”

I imagine the brand and goodwill value will have remarkable staging power forward as consumers decide where to do their AI search

It's great, until people realize GPT-3 will generate answers that are demonstrably wrong. (And to make matters worse, can't show/link the source of the incorrect information!)

As everyone starts to adopt AI, are we going to get to a point where the AI is eating itself. I could imagine AI failing similarly to incestuous genetic lines creating mutations.

The stuff about TypeScript generics is just wrong though.

The answer about Typescript generics is totally wrong. I'm sure there's other errors but I didn't read further.
