Based on my little survey, 81% believe search has become worse with the introduction of AI.

Do the search engine makers care or will they continue in the same direction?
IMHO, if you want to show something as the definite answer to a question, it better be right and not some AI generated stuff.
The goal for search should be to have the best possible search results. Typically AI generated stuff is not that. You would like the original information and not a rehash.
There is a longer answer to that, but I would think that getting what you are looking for would be that.
I remember the time when Google entered the search market. At the time, some of the leading search engines listed results based on who paid most. Google changed that, but we are in some ways back to where we started?

"what you are looking for" gives more questions than answers.
The Page ranking which built Google's early success was a great innovation for its time but would be wholly unsuitable for today's world wide web.
In some ways you are correct that we are back to who pays the most, but it's not paying Google it's that SEO has become and industry, and there is no objective measure of a website's quality.
