OpenAI has been developing a web search ،uct, partly powered by Microsoft Bing, a source told The Information.
This s،uldn’t be too surprising, considering:
Why we care. OpenAI has created a popular ،uct in ChatGPT and I’ve seen much anecdotal evidence that some people use it similarly to a search engine. If OpenAI actually does release a Search ،uct, it will be worth wat،g to see it becomes a source of any significant ،ic traffic or value for ،nds and businesses.
Could OpenAI challenge Google Search? I’m all for more search alternatives. But could OpenAI develop a search engine to truly rival Google? I’m extremely skeptical at this time.
Look no further than Microsoft – a $3 trillion company – which has failed to make little progress versus Google for two decades, even after all the AI Search investments and features it has rolled out over the past year. See: One year later: Little change to Microsoft Bing’s search market share
Google is Search – it is a habit for people, as pointed out recently in testimony by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during the still unresolved Google an،rust trial.
We’ve seen so many search engines launch with hype about it being the latest and greatest “Google ،er” (Blekko, Cuil, Neeva, et al.) – then ultimately fail. The reality? Google Search is always the real ،er.
In terms of understanding ،w far ChatGPT has to go: Google got an estimated 84.2 billion visits while ChatGPT got an estimated 1.6 billion in December.
