"ChatGPT will kill Google. Google missed the AI wave. RIP Google."

"ChatGPT will kill Google. Google missed the AI wave. RIP Google."

This point of view is wrong. Here's why👇👇

ChatGPT won't be able to kill Google Search because:

  1. it isn't connected to the internet. ChatGPT doesn't know that Argentina won FIFA or Russia attacked Ukraine.

  2. it often gives wrong answers.

  3. the main reason: it is very expensive to search on ChatGPT compared to a search engine because running an AI is very expensive.

Google is not an idiot. Google hasn't missed the AI wave.

They have several AI models like LaMDA, BERT and BUM, which are equal to or better than ChatGPT.

So why hasn't Google released these AI to the public?

Because AI(both ChatGPT and Google's AI) is wrong a lot of times.

ChatGPT is new to the market, so they can afford to be wrong.

But Google has a reputation. They can't launch a product which gives wrong answers. Media will kill them.

That's why Google is working on improving their AI instead of launching it quickly.

I think ChatGPT is going to be connected to the internet within the next 3-6 months. They are simply feeding the system with historical data at the moment and training it on how to learn how to understand live internet.

I agree with the author. I believe Google is not showing all its cards here. They are heavily investing in artificial intelligence and engineers are involved in AI education.

Microsoft, OpenAI, Google and Tesla are the top 4 companies I think, even though OpenAI has been working on GPT-4 for some time.

And still there are two main problems associated with AI so it's not ready to replace Google Search:

  • Sometimes, predictions are incorrect (let us say 9/10 were correct)
  • As a result, even if the prediction is incorrect, the GPT model will appear very confident and sell this information as accurate.

Agreed, just like React will lose to Web Components. At least not for a while, if ever.
