I like that it's unmonetized, of course, but that's not why I use AI. I use AI because it's better at search. When I can't remember the right keywords to find something, or when the keywords aren't unique, I frequently find that web search doesn't return what I need and AI does.

It's impressive how often AI returns the right answer to vague questions. (not always though)

Google used to return the right answer to vague questions until it decided to return the most lucrative answer to vague questions instead.

Fortunately there is a lot of competition in the LLM space.

Edit: and, more importantly, plenty of people willing to pay a subscription for good quality.
