Not gonna lie, chatGPT makes things a lot easier for most people, instead of using a search engine where you get multiple links you have to click and so on, chatGPT is straight to the point.

Exactly. That is why people will use Whatsapp chat AI instead of visiting other websites like Google search.

The convenience is why most people prefer using AI over normal search engines. It saves time and effort.

Not only that but it can engage in real conversation as if you are talking to a real human. Machines will kill people one day.

It's a time saver compared to scrolling through endless links on search engines.

Meta in Messenger also have AI. It is just manner of time when it will come to Viber and Telegram.

Something strange is happening to the Internet
Last year, ChatGPT was the 15th most visited site in the world. Now it's #5.
It just passed Reddit, Amazon, and Whatsapp, and it's still climbing. Every other spot in the top 10 is down. Wikipedia fell by almost 6% in one month (March to April).
ChatGPT is quietly swallowing traffic, which means fewer clicks on blogs, forums, and even search engines...
It's almost as if people are skipping the Internet altogether.
Because they are.
For millions, ChatGPT is no longer a tool, but an interface.
Look closely at this graph. This isn't normal growth, it's a changing of the guard. One interface is taking over while the old one quietly fades away.
Are people skipping the Internet?

Whoa, that graph is wild—it’s like watching the entire internet reshuffle itself in real time. ChatGPT jumping from #15 to #5 in a year? Passing Amazon? That’s not just growth, it’s a full-blown behavior shift. And you’re right: it’s not just ‘using AI,’ it’s replacing entire steps. Why click through 10 forum threads when GPT summarizes it? Why Google and scroll when it codes/writes/plans for you?*

But here’s what freaks me out: the ‘quiet fade’ of everything else. Wikipedia down 6% in a month? Forums, blogs, even Reddit—they’re not just losing traffic, they’re losing their role as the internet’s backbone. Feels like we’re trading a messy, human web for a single, slick answer box. Convenient? Absolutely. But I miss stumbling on weird forum deep dives or those ‘wait, how is THIS the top Google result?!’ moments.

Kinda makes you wonder: is this the ‘app-ification’ of the entire internet? One button for everything, no open web required…"

True, it’s a big shift. Instead of browsing around, people just want one clear answer now.

Some Scientist thinks Gen Beta might become dumber because they will rely on Ai

Then there is no use of having them since AI is enough to do what they would have done.
