Summary: Users choose AI to explore and synthesize information; but they rely on traditional search when accuracy and trust are critical. Users are increasingly turning to generative AI (genAI) for information-seeking tasks — but not uniformly. In a recent study, we observed how people chose between AI chatbots and traditional search for real tasks. Users turned to AI when they started with vague ideas, juggled multiple requirements, or combined information from many sources. They used traditional search when they needed accuracy, control, and trusted sources.

interesting implications for marketing

The two things you know about Ford’s business strategy are both wrong:
