AI Chatbots won't completely kill websites or make websites obsolete but instead they will likely evolve websites including ones like this into more personalized, efficient and responsive platforms.

AI chatbots are mainly a tool that enhances a users experience and provides more personalized interactions.

AI can also streamline processes and offer instant answers to common questions and even personalize content that is based on user preferences and make websites more efficient and user friendly.

AI can also power smarter search functions and navigation systems and make them easier for users to fine what they need on a website.

While AI and AI chatbots are okay in some places I still personally like to get answers from real people and even provide real human answers to other people.

I'm sure that websites such as forums, question and answers websites like this one and even reddit and other similar websites will be around for years to come.

While I do like some of the instant answers from AI I also love to still go to forums, reddit and other question and answer websites as well to ask and get real answers from real people.

I doubt that AI will completely kill question and answer websites, including this one, reddit and quora etc as people will likely still want to interact with others.

As for websites such as blogs that mainly post articles for people to read without any way of interacting with others those kind of websites may be killed off by AI but the bigger websites will still likely be around.

Blogging with AI and posting AI articles in mass is what is killing other websites as even though Google search is using AI for answers, they are penalizing blogs and websites that use AI mainly to mass produce articles and are lowering them down in the search rankings.

And websites without much if any AI or websites such as this website, reddit, Quora and other forums and question and answer websites are increasing in Google Ranking.

Google is updating their search with core updates to surface better less AI content and ranking question and answer websites and other forums more now.

When I search something in Google I notice I see more forum results, reddit results and other question and answer websites where real users are responding and answering the questions.

AI chatbots may eventually kill websites like this although it's hard to say yet.

Even with AI now I hate the AI and will not even look at the AI answers in google search and will scroll down until I find a website answering the question for me.

Also currently not all answers have an AI answer on Google so we still need to visit some websites to get the answer.

I'm one of the persons that don't use AI chatbots and want answers from real people and want to converse even online.

I find that some of the answers that I've checked through AI chatbots and AI were wrong as I've asked the AI questions I knew the answer too and it was incorrect most of the time.

For example I asked a question Google about what to do in a flood when you're outside walking.

The AI answer came back and said that I should lay down in a ditch during a flood or crawl into a culvert for shelter if a flood was about to come.

Well that would get you killed really quick so you should never trust all the answers from AI.

There likely will still be many people that still want to visit websites and get their questions and answers from and especially older people for many years yet.

I personally don't see websites like this one or reddit, quora etc going away anytime soon or at least for 20 to 30 years if ever.

I sure hope websites such as reddit, quora and this website and other websites are still around for many years.
