The primary use case of a search engine is to find sources of information on a particular topic. Embedding an AI chat bot in your search engine is very much encouraging users to treat it as something that can find sources of information on a topic.

It’s great for summarizing content, or lengthening it. It used to be great for writing insane, outlandish versions of stories such as “a version of the movie Saw as an educational cartoon for preschoolers” or “a breaking bad scene where Walter White reveals himself to be a gothic Satanist” but the woke and copyright edits killed that. Bing will probably do that once I get access tho
