The Best Answers Keep You Home

Google acts as a comprehensive directory, guiding users to specific resources for their needs, but with extensive research often requiring users to leave the platform for detailed information. In contrast, emerging AI technologies like OpenAI aim to streamline the search process by providing the best answers directly within the platform, minimizing the need for users to browse elsewhere. This shift threatens traditional media's traffic sources, as users increasingly find satisfactory responses without navigating external sites. The analogy compares Google to Walmart, where abundance can hinder efficiency, while AI tools are likened to specialized retailers that offer curated options, enhancing user experience and satisfaction.
