I don't think you understand that there's a difference between a user who wants an AI chatbot and a user who wants to perform a web search, and even if they're the exact same user, they expect for a web search to operate like a web search and not like a chatbot.

I don't think anyone who works in product management at any company in 2026 understands this, so you're not alone.

my comment is literally only pushing back on the claim of "ai is not popular".

by any reasonable metric, ai is popular. that doesn't change just because you super-duper hate it.

your insistence that i dont understand something unrelated to the point of my comment is weird.
