What about restaurants, transportation, construction, healthcare, or manufacturing?

Will those go out of business too?

The better question is how well they do in a world where you have to pay OpenAI to be included. A local restaurant can likely survive on local advertising, neighborhood traffic, etc. but I’d bet a lot of categories further consolidate to favor larger companies who can negotiate LLM placement deals.

So what you're saying is that LLMs will replace not only search but Google/Apple Maps as well?
