I wonder how much Apple's forthcoming Siri search and Gemini in Chrome/Google search will cannibalise ChatGPT (and other LLMs) usage. If they are available with no effort, 'free' and good enough to help the general population search for products and "how do I do ..." searches. Likewise for writing tools - if word processing and email/writing products come bundled with the ability to 'rephrase this text more professionally' etc. and browsers and PDFs can 'summarise this text', even nearly as good as ChatGPT people won't bother cutting and pasting (or integrating)

Of course those backends might be using ChatGPT, but will there be less people willing to pay or use the service directly.
