Will searchbots put me out of a job?

It's a double edge sword tbh. On one hand, it's extremely convenient to have a bot just bring you an answer. But on the other hand, the information lacks nuance or context.
For example, if I write an article about the best Android smartphones to buy under ₹25k, it would definitely mention that I recommend Motorola phones for easy onboarding and basic usage... But what about the fact that Motorola has a bad reputation with software updates? That was mentioned much later.
So, depending on how I wrote my article, the bot may or may not actually give users the proper context.
I think it depends on what results you need. If I just want to quickly check some basic facts about something, it's awesome. If I need more details, I always go deeper and read it on a website. Overall it seems awesome so far.
