I'd love to see the statistics on the daily number of Google searches since OpenAI (ChatGPT in particular) came to the fore this year.

Anecdotally, I now use ChatGPT for at least 25-50% of the queries that I previously would have had no other channel for other than a search engine.

If I was in charge of Alphabet I'd be starting to worry. This move makes them look a bit desperate.
