Will ChatGPT win over Google?
An AI arms race has been accelerated by ChatGPT's rapid growth, which has the potential to alter how we search the internet. Could someone new still be able to make an impact as Google looks to its past for inspiration and Microsoft stakes a multibillion-dollar bet?
Without Google, the internet would be hard to imagine.
We no longer look it up; instead, we "Google it" because the tech giant has become so synonymous with web browsing that it has become a verb.
Google ended 2022 as the most popular website in the world, as it always does. It is estimated to have a 92% share of the search engine market; Microsoft's Bing is its closest competitor, with a 3% share.
It might not look like a landscape that is ready for change on the surface, but don't be so sure.
The AI chatbot ChatGPT's launch last year posed a threat to the way journalists write stories, children do their homework, and people prepare for job interviews.
It sparked speculation that it could be a threat to Google because it was trained on a lot of text from the internet and could respond to almost any prompt like a human would.
How AI could change how you search the internet Some of these potential disruptors include You.com, a search engine founded in California (among other places) in 2021 that recently added a bot called YouChat; and Neeva's own brand-new AI.
Neeva, which debuted in the UK in October, aims to provide search results that are trustworthy and informative without being influenced by user data or advertising.
In February, it will be available to UK users with AI functionality. The AI searches the internet for information, writes a single response to the question, and, like YouChat, cites all of its sources so that users can learn more.
Additionally, because it operates in real time, it keeps up with current events and provides relevant references to its admittedly small pool of one million monthly users.
Are we truly prepared to adapt?
One thing is to see the potential for change on the internet; another is to carry it out.
The rapid growth of users at would-be rival Mastodon has stalled, indicating that Elon Musk's tumultuous takeover of Twitter has not upended people's habits to the extent that experts anticipated.
Although Ramaswarmy acknowledges that it is challenging to start a "mass movement" on the internet, he views ChatGPT's breakthrough as proof that "a platform shift" is possible.
He says, "Think of how we let Google and Apple become the dominant players in the mobile world and saw Microsoft, Nokia, and Blackberry disappear from the mobile world."
"It seems like this is a face-off moment,"
