Google is still king of the traditional web. There are so many products and services that you cannot sell through Amazon and that you do not want to sell on Amazon. Social media is a joke when it comes to online sales, you have to invest 100 hours into social media to get the same results as investing 1 hour in a normal web site.
The search engine of Google has rapidly deteriorated, but people still go mainly to Google when they want or need to purchase something.
AI can not make contracts with humans and make a sale. People selling online instead of making free content seem to be the most protected against AI right now. An AI can never deal with money responsibilities.
Google's strongest arm right now are maps, where they are superior. Apple is finally catching up, and could compete with Google if they changed some of their truly idiotic maps policies. For what it's worth, Apple could probably easily destroy Google as a search engine, and they have the conservative attitude to make them a good candidate.
