The assumption being: An AI on its own won’t search. (Because there is nothing new?)
AI chatbots will cause a 25% drop in search engine volume by 2026: Gartner
Search engine volume will drop 25% by 2026, with search marketing losing market share to AI chatbots and other virtual agents, according to Gartner.
Chatbots like Microsoft backed OpenAI's ChatGPT are changing the way users access information on the internet. Observers fear GenAI solutions could render traditional search engines obsolete.

Does anyone even want an AI search engine?
You’ve probably already noticed your search engines are starting to evolve. Google and Bing have already added both AI-generated results and conversational chatbots to their respective search engines. The Browser Company, a startup that made a big early splash thanks to its mission statement of building a better internet browser, has launched an AI summary search. And OpenAI is reportedly building its own search engine to compete directly with Google.
… Curiously, though, at no point amid our current AI arms race have the companies stuffing AI into our search engines and browsers offered any guidance as to what happens to the web if this truly is the future of the way we find things online. And it may be the best evidence yet that the AI industry is still completely engulfed in hype.
Or as Glitch CEO Anil Dash tells me, “Why is everyone in the industry lemmings.”
