    ‘So what does this do?’

    ‘It’s a search engine that doesn’t search.’

    ‘So … like a car that can’t drive? Innovative, I love it!’

    Waves of applause in the meeting room.

    (How I imagine the maladaptive daydreams of whoever runs IT companies these days)

    Wait, people still go to search engine’s hompages? You know you can search from the address bar in your browser, right?

      Eh DDG is my homepage, so yeah I often do just type in the search bar. Whichever the cursor is on, really. No preference.

      What do people use as a homepage?

    Mark my words: they will make every search be an prompt until people stop visiting websites all together. Websites will become nothing but data sources for LLMs and all of the attention and hence ad revenue that is currently decentralised among websites will be consolidated by Google and its AI.
