Almost every report i've seen shows over 50% of people using AI for search

Because people don't know that they can turn it off, or they don't know how to turn it off and it doesn't bother them enough to find out how. If it was opt-in, that statistic would probably be 5% use AI for search.

This stat is people who use llm chatbots for search. It excludes summaries. I think that had 60% saying they did read the summaries 10% saying not sure and rest saying they didnt.
