OpenAI reportedly has Google in its sights with a new online search product

This is the first thing I actually believe has a chance to hurt Google. Chat Gpt really succeeded, and it's Microsofts billions behind it. All at the same time as Google has lost its culture of innovation and has become a creepy sleezy company.

I would welcome a better search engine, all the SEO stuff destroyed Googles index of the web so it's difficult to find real things outside of reddit. Or perhaps nobody posts on the open web anymore?

I, too, would welcome something better, but ChatGPT ain't it. I don't need bizarrely wrong answers to my searches.

I’ve found OpenAI’s result-quality significantly better than anything I find on page 1 of search results, whether Google or DuckDuckGo.

For anything other than a very specific, singular term, I use ChatGPT almost exclusively.

DuckDuckGo is just Bing under the hood.

Every time I've tried to use ChatGPT, it's been laughably wrong.

I think this is the bigger factor. Most people are now talking on closed unindexed FB/Insta, closed Discord groups, closed groupchats.... All unfindable and unsearchable.

And no way a competitor will open themselves to get scraped by Google in 2024, such is capitalism.
