Google's AI search mode is getting faster and more useful, drawing more searches overall instead of replacing them. The speaker switched from skeptical to confident after trying it, and sees Jevons paradox at work: better tools create new demand rather than just filling old needs.
When I use Google now, I do often click on AI mode. So I do often switch to AI mode very quickly just to ask follow-up questions. And I think they made it work for them. Initially, I was skeptical that AI mode would work. They made it work. And by the way, searches are continuing to grow still and their AI usage is continuing to go up. I just think there's going to be more and more demand. We've talked about this, this concept before known as Jevons paradox. When something becomes available and abundantly available, people actually use it more and more. We're going to find a lot more use cases with infinite intelligence. We just don't know what it looks like yet. But when you have infinite intelligence, man, is it exciting.
