Google is fucked…and here’s why:
Did you see the recent update of OpenAI?
Finally yesterday, they released the (ChatGPT search) SearchGPT—a tool that has been made to work like a search engine and directly compete with the Google Search engine.
With the previous versions of ChatGPTs, you needed to either click on the provided link by ChatGPT or find it manually on the web—meaning there were no “Web” search engines built into ChatGPT.
But now, ChatGPT is your new search engine, just like Google.
Type the query and you’ll have all the websites, answers, and the desired results you’re looking for, right in front of your eyes—in ChatGPT dialogue.
The middleman—Google—is over.
OpenAI says it has partnered with news and data providers to add up-to-date information and new visual designs for categories like weather, stocks, sports, news, and maps.
Now here’s the point you might be missing:
The reason Google loses here is that you can’t ask follow-up questions to Google when you are searching for something. But on ChatGPT (or other tools like Perplexity AI), you can do it, you can ask as many follow-up questions as you want, which is why people will prefer using ChatGPT and other AI tools over Google web search.
ChatGPT Search is available for all ChatGPT Plus and Team users, as well as SearchGPT waitlist users, will have access today. Enterprise and Edu users will get access in the next few weeks. We’ll roll out to all Free users over the coming months.
Google’s search engine monopoly is about to end—very soon.
