You’re not wrong but I think the “code red” is the marketing edge ChatGPT gets. GPT isn’t doing anything Google doesn’t have infra in place to do likely at the drop of a hat.
Why have they not been innovating search but instead have been adding expanding advertisements at the expend of organic listings. Why has it become so difficult to search for CS questions? Obviously because Google allows blatant content copying (the kind of which would have got my small circle of blogs infracted in the early 2010s, and these are stack overflow clones.)
It’s proof that either a. Google has spent the past decade of free money not caring about providing more utility to the user or b. They are systemically incapable of doing such at this time due to inertia.
