The whole notion that AI can replace search is nonsense. It yields no benefit to the creators of the results it scrapes and the models hallucinate. It's worse for users and it's worse for everyone producing anything of note online.

but many chatgpt users are not using Google as much instead relying on LLMs + RAG

ChatGPT is the new search engine and provides far more value to the end user than Google.

The issue seems to be people want a payout from OpenAI...but its non-profit

It's a shiny toy — it'll yield worse answers. Much like Google's own AI.

Google search is terrible. Chatgpt is definitively better for searching right now, and i often find myself reaching for it over google for a wide category of questions.

Google search is terrible because Google's stopped caring about search quality in favor of monetization. It doesn't mean an LLM can outperform a traditional search engine that cares about said quality.
