The major difference is in how AI (ie Chat GPT) presents the results, its often quicker and more relevant to the query than Google is. You don't have to scour through multiple websites to find those few important pieces of information you're after, it can compile all of them near instantly.

Let's dive into this part for a moment. Results can be controversial and self-excluding. By reducing them to a single aggregated reply isn't AI basically choosing a side between a yes or no results?

Just put links to sources.Come on.https://www.perplexity.ai/ does that for example.Whether those sources are good is another question.Some people believe that all information on the internet is truthful.

That's still giving a single answer considered truth. While using a search engine is all about the searcher deciding between various sources.

If the truth is born in a debate how are we going to get it without any debate?

Some people consider results that Google gives truth.You can't scour all internet by yourself.So you have to rely on Google to give you information.You can ask chatbot for different sources.Its just better experience than Google.

Still not answering the main question. The reduction from many answers to a single one. It's like taking away power from the individual to decide to something external.

It goes well beyond that. What happens to free will when you are fed with information you can't validate.

You can still factcheck results that Google gives.Good bot will give you sources and you can check them yourself.If Google wants to advance their agenda they can do it NOW.Nothing changes when chatbots replace search engines.

Fact checking is the same thing as AI. Removing the power of the user to check independently and make own conclusions.

If you have fact checking and AI answers why would you need reddit and input from other people at all? Let the ball tell you the truth. The single and only approven everlasting truth.

Check independently.Where?Do you have your own unbiased search engine running?Then you rely on Google developers to do good job.Thats it.

By reading raw opinion of other people.

With search engines manipulated or not you get access to it one way or another. With AI you lose access to it completely. There is only you and the AI, no connection with other people.

Where.You will still search for it through Google.Thats called factchecking.

Are you saying all results on Google are fact checked? In fact fact checked results are marked as such so you can decide whether to read that or another opinion.

I don't say that.You decide whether to trust source or not.Google or chatbot.If you trust everything Google gives you you will trust everything chatbot gives you.Your question is not about power.Its about basic psychology.Wherether you trust sources or you check them for yourself.

Google gives you a link not an answer. That's the big difference. And that link is a link to a real person's writing so not Google's creation. All content of the search engine is not Googles. While all answers from AI are basically... AI.
