Is Google’s 20-year search dominance about to end?

ChatGPT lies to your face, while Google just finds other peoples lies and shows you a list of the best ones.

And the latter gives me a lot more to go on when I wish to evaluate what I’m reading.

and by "best" we mean interspersed within 12 pages of heavily ad laden blogspam

Or even worse, shows you the lies from 2015 and ignores newer information.

Specifically just the 400 best/recent ones. Google will never return more than 400 results for a query despite reporting ~80,000,000 results. If you click next enough it will run out after showing you ~38 pages of 10 results or almost 4 pages of 100 results.

This is the intended behavior. It kind of ruins serendipitious web surfing via search. I look through 4 pages of 100 results in less than a minute and the web as google search presents it just feels so shallow now.

I think the people who want more than 400 results and the people that want ChatGPT to summarize the results are a disjoint set.

I also suspect the first set is very very small...
