People are getting synthesized answers from LLMs that replace googling, filtering, and skimming for the info you need. Unless I misunderstand your question.

If you are okay with made-up answers, then you don't even need to use Google to begin with.

Made-up answers are also a lot of the google search results.

Google doesn't provide explicit search numbers for a user but I estimate with ChatGPT my own use of Google has probably gone down by 5%

Not huge, but not nothing
