I took this another direction Mike, a rebuttal if I may.
This tech doesn't belong in search engines.
GPTs are not trained to predict facts, they have a huge flaw with "hallucinations" or what some call confabulation and this makes for a pretty terrible search feature in a world of mitigating fake news/misinfo/disinfo.
I agree. But we're talking about human nature, not technology -- i.e., where will humans look when they want an answer and how good are humans at choosing the right answer from 10k search results. If ChatGPT is built into email, word processing and browsers, I'm suggesting people will push the button and get the answer, rather than switching to a search engine and coping with a long list of links to results that leave it up to the user to discern the validity of.
Your description of the fragmentation of AI for political purposes is very scary. I'm not sure this is a world I will enjoy living in. I just imagine a Fox News AI's answer to who is the legitimate winner of the 2020 election.
I know. I suspect that like so much of technology, this brand of AI will make everything much worse and much better at the same time. The "worse" part is very worrisome.

"A few years from now, we’ll have to use AI if we want to remember what search engines were."
