The emergence of Chatboxes has forced search engines to evolve to remain relevant.

Why do people keep saying this? Sure, for some trivia type knowledge it might be faster to ask the chatbot, but we already have this with things like Alexa and Google Assistant. When I'm really searching for something I'm looking for different sources, and I try to determine the best solution from everything I've read or watched if videos are helpful to the context. I'm not going to be satisfied with a single text answer from a chatbot.

I never claimed that overall, I just mean in the context of searching for information. Sure, ChatGPT can write me a whole essay and Google search and Alexa can't do this, but I'm never searching for an essay to be written for me from search engines in the first place. I see these chatbots as a whole new complimentary thing rather than a search engine replacement.

in the probably near future using these AI chat apps to help on essays ( help, not blindly forwarding the first thing it sends you) will be as common as using calculators for math.

I find that messed up... Calculators perform busy work for us, which is fine, but in writing an essay you have to think and formulate your own thoughts, which is part of the essence of being human... If we automate this what are we really doing here?

I use ChatGPT almost daily. My comment was specifically in the context of asking something like the capital of a country or something. The functionality ChatGPT does I don't see as a search replacement but something entirely different I don't think we've quite comprehended yet.
