It starts with the power users. GPT4 has certainly had a big impact on my Google searches.
For example, all my tech support searches are now GPT4. Those are painful on Google. There's no need to verify with a Google search, since you can just try out what GPT4 says.
Concrete example: I use it all the time to help me with Excel. What it suggests is nearly always correct. It has turned me into an Excel power user within a few weeks.
You need to develop a sense for what it's likely to be correct on, but once you do it's insanely useful. Simple rule of thumb: if you think you'd find a direct response to your question by wading through pages of ad infested Google results, it'll definitely work great on GPT4.
The way I recall it, it took multiple years for Google to go from a secret power user thing to displacing Yahoo and Altavista for the broad user base. And that was at a time where being online in itself was sort of an early adopter thing.
Anyway, I guess my point is, I would be worried if I was Google, and ignore this tech at your own risk...
