Why does search need to be AI? I've had no problems finding any information I wanted under the former process.

I think the idea is that you won't even leave the Google page at all, they want to keep you on their site and serve you their ads instead of sending you to someone else's site and giving someone else that sweet sweet ad revenue.

The logic checks out. Avoid using google where possible.

YouTube is their only must have service imho

youtube will also become harvested for AI data. And filled with AI functionality in the future. ergo: Look out for alternatives.
