The way I see it:

- Today's search engines will give you links to millions of documents

- ChatGPT, if asked correctly, will instead generate one perfect document based on millions of the documents

To me, that's a clear evolution of the search engine, especially with all the SEO & ad spam that's plaguing Google and others currently.

I wasn't ready to pay a monthly fee for an ad-free Google. I am ready to pay for something like ChatGPT.

Google has an issue on their hands and is probably working overtime to lobby the threat of ChatGPT away.

What kills it for me (so far, perhaps they can fix it in the future) is that there is no way to know if you've actually asked ChatGPT correctly and it has given you a perfect document with the answer you seek, or if your question was slightly off and it has given a wrong answer, or even if your question was correct but it still confidently gives the wrong answer. It famously asserted numbers like 42 were prime early on, though that seems to have been fixed (although that may have been just through hardcoding).

I wish ChatGPT would give you the score(s) of the results it returns, so you could understand how correct it "thinks" the response is. I wonder if those confidently wrong answers are also low scoring.
