Don't make me search — just tell me the answer
May 25, 2025
Google is well aware that traditional search is going to die (or at least go away for the vast majority of use cases). I don't want to search for things if I can just be told the answer.
Here's an example. I was installing new light fixtures in our bedrooms this week and I wanted a refresher on wire colors.
Historically, I would have done a Google Search, which would have then led me to some website or to some lengthy YouTube video that I didn't actually want to watch and that I would have had to scan through to find the salient parts.
But today that feels old school. Instead what I did was take a picture of the ceiling box and ask ChatGPT to just tell me the answers.
Voilà:
It seems almost trite at this point to talk about the virtues of AI. But over the last few months, I have found that — just like that — it has become an integral part of my everyday workflow.
This is true whether I'm playing electrician, planning travel, writing a blog post (and I want an assistant to find me data), or I'm looking to brainstorm around something business related.
I'm sure the same is true for many of you as well.
