Isn't Bing Google biggest search competition? Is the general public using chat as a general search engine to replace the more traditional search engine or is it just us tech people. I can tell you I know of no one doing this outside of tech coworkers and even then just use it for programming related tasks to a very limited way.

Google's biggest competition is whatever makes people use their search less.

I know for sure some people who use chatgpt in place of Google search like students or people needing translations.
