Allie K. Miller reports her Google usage dropped 90% since using Instinct. She explains why she kept traditional search for four years after ChatGPT: app load lagged behind dictating to the browser URL bar, answers took longer, she didn't want everything in chat memory, and Google AI Overviews genuinely improved after the 'rocks in pizza' debacle. She adds she'd switch to Dots instantly if it landed on iMessage.
