I still use Google as my default search engine, although that's very likely to change soon.
This time, you said it, I didn't. Google is losing the war. Their problem is that they do not know who they want to be. Do they want to be a search engine? Do they want to be an AI Bot Answer machine? Do they want to be a Door-to-Door salesman?
Money Follows Mastery and right now Google is not mastering anything!
Gemini is behind Claude, ChatGPT, and Bing for AI. Bing is still doing searches the way it was intended, and Amazon will eat its lunch for being a Door-to-Door sales machine.
I want Google to focus on getting Search right, leaving AI to AI, and sales to sales.
