Not having links can be considered a feature, depending on what kind of front end you are using. When using Siri or Alexa, I typiccally want an answer, and not a quote from a page which would need further interaction, or a link to a page which requires me to actually read the content myself. In these cases, I'd much rather prefer a system like ChatGPT give an answer directly.

Is going to take a long time till Google is obsolete, esp. because a sizeable amount of people will still want to get links. But in a voice query situation, I'd actually prefer if I didn't have to interact with HTML at all.

How often do you actually use voice query ? The only thing I use Siri is switching music when I'm driving and even that is like 80/20 to understand me correctly.

What's the use case anyway ? Fact checking someone in a conversation ? Doesn't sound like something I'd pay for.

You're mixing things up. I totally agree that Siri and Alexa are quite unusable right now. You can basically just ask for the time and the weather, everything else fails. However, with ChatGPT as a potential backend, I think the situation would change.

I would never trust Siri or Alexa for an answer that actually mattered. The population of Budapest or tomorrow's weather, sure. The correct torque for my wheel nuts or whether it's legal to carry a gun in ____, hell no.
