I was born in the same year that Google Search launched. Half-decent search has been here my whole life. When someone asks me "how did you learn X", the answer usually starts with "I googled it".

I've never looked something up in an encyclopedia. I've never visited a library in pursuit of a research goal. There's no "going back to how things were before" for me - there was no "before"!

Life will go on, but the demise of search engines is quite a terrifying prospect for me. Generative AI is a search engine killer but not in any positive sense.
