Google may be only a year or two away from total disruption. AI will eliminate the Search Engine Result Page, which is where they make most of their money. Even if they catch up on AI, they can't fully deploy it without destroying the most valuable part of their business!
Google is done. Compare the quality of these responses (ChatGPT)

Did you know there’s a simple way that YOU can help destroy the value of @Twitter (as if that process needed helping along)? Follow these simple instructions to block all of their most lucrative advertisers! Hooray, free speech! Right @elonmusk?! 🎉

Yes indeed. I set up @ChaosReactor on @discord because of my experience with @SlackHQ actively trying to hamper my efforts to build @ConvoCollective on their platform. Permanent invite links won my ❤️
Every open source community I'm in that was on Slack has now moved to @discord because of Slack's restrictions on the free tier. Maybe @salesforce (which owns Slack) doesn't care, but these are hearts and minds of the leading edge of developers. This will have long-term impact
