Rather than ChatGPT being a replacement for Google, I've found it complements it pretty well. Questions I never would have searched on Google because of length or complexity are well suited to ChatGPT while the sorts of things I've always gone to Google for I continue to use Google for. Also when ChatGPT spits out a few paragraphs of answer for a complex question I'm not even sure may have an answer, I have some concrete directions to pursue which translate much better to Google search than general/fuzzy complex questions.

At this point saving Google doesn't require replacing the golden goose of Search but rather wrapping it with Gemini/whatever that can decide whether to give an answer it's thought up or returning tailored search results.

It's much more a UX question than a deep technical one. Google has all the pieces it needs, it just needs to package them into a seamless experience. You don't need a mind like Demis' for this...
