There was a time when we thought people weren't stupid enough to prefer text messages over phone conversations. There were times when we assumed tiktok wouldn't compete with Facebook, because supposedly people prefer to socialize with "friends and family". In my view, ChatGPT won't replace Google for the few people who like to do proper research. But in general, people are lazy and prefer simple answers to complex problem. Most people will be happy with the summarized and succinct answers ChatGPT provide over the laborious options Google provides.

I think you are correct. But Google is getting better at putting succinct answers from sources at the top of results. They are occasionally wrong or not what you were actually looking for though, which is the same problem ChaptGPT has.
