AI kills search traffic. Yes.

OTOH good search - deep research - is one of the biggest productivity gains using AI.

Using AI to do research almost seems worse than citing wikipedia as a reference.

The same people who cited Wikipedia instead of its sources are probably the same people who cite AI instead of its sources. New scope for people with a stick.
