💡 IDEAS Will AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Copilot) make traditional search engines obsolete?

Almost every day I use AI assistants like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, and I've noticed something interesting: I don't "Google" things as much as I used to. In the past, I would launch a search engine, enter a few keywords, and then browse through pages of results to find the information I needed. I now simply ask the AI directly, and I typically receive a useful response in a matter of seconds. It's as if you're missing a step.

AI assistants provide you with conversational, targeted responses rather than a list of links. For instance, I asked ChatGPT how to resolve a CSS bug when I was creating my first website. Rather than sifting through forums and blog posts, the AI provided code examples, explained the problem, and even offered better layout ideas. Such depth and speed made search engines feel less direct and slower.

However, I don't believe search engines will go extinct. Sometimes I want to read through different viewpoints, evaluate costs, or examine visual content like product images or reviews. That's still better done by search engines. They allow you to freely investigate various sources rather than relying solely on one response.


Therefore, in my opinion, AI assistants are a useful tool that enhances search rather than replaces it. I use search engines when I want a more comprehensive view and artificial intelligence (AI) for more focused answers and explanations. The two may eventually completely merge, but for the time being, each has a role.
 
I've most certainly noticed the same change—now, when I need quick answers, code assistance, or conceptual clarity, I go to AI assistants like ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot first. It's so effective that it skips the scavenger hunt and gets right to the answer. However, I continue to use search engines when I need to read opinions, compare options, or delve deeply into a variety of sources. It's about complementing, not replacing, in my opinion. Search engines provide me with the more general "why" and "which," while AI manages the "what" and "how." I believe that both tools will be used in tandem in the future, and I'm all for it.
 
@kerryjoy what is your problem with gemini code assist? First of all when I have compared github copilot and gemini code assist in bug fix it is working well with jetbrain webstorm better than github copilot add to this diff mode and code recommandations add to redact your readme md. May be use of google search engine you may mean but majority of us doesn't use like the past. It stays own preference to choose gemini code assist rather than github copilot limit 2000 characters or chatgpt where you copy entire block code for fix without diff mode.
