Google is becoming an AI engine. You type in "How to clean a wound?" and it tells you how. You type in "How to price an option contract?", and it tells you. Forget about GPT-3, Google is the real deal. If they're able to continue executing on this vision, the sky's the limit.

These type of queries seem to have become the exception. Google is still useful if you're trying to find a product you want to buy. Maybe.

Occasionally I'll get lucky with a hyper-specific query that hasn't been SEO to shit, but otherwise Google search has become a glorified Yellow Pages.

Far from being AI, I've watched Google search get dumber with time.
