OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Search, Competing With Google and Microsoft (cnbc.com) 13
OpenAI on Thursday launched a search feature within ChatGPT, its viral chatbot, that positions the high-powered AI startup to better compete with search engines like Google, Microsoft's Bing and Perplexity. From a report: ChatGPT search offers up-to-the-minute sports scores, stock quotes, news, weather and more, powered by real-time web search and partnerships with news and data providers, according to the company. It began beta-testing the search engine, called SearchGPT, in July.
The release could have implications for Google as the dominant search engine. Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, Alphabet investors have been concerned that OpenAI could take market share from Google in search by giving consumers new ways to seek information online.

Wait, doesn't Microsoft own OpenAI? (Score:2)
Or at least a controlling chunk of it?
I wonder what Microsoft thinks of this.

I use DuckDuckGo for about 90% of my searches. DuckDuckGo uses Bing for its results. It does just fine about 90% of the time. If I'm not getting the results I think I should get, I go to google.
So, yeah, while admittedly small, DuckDuckGo stats are still impressive to me:
The search engine is predicted to serve over 30 billion private searches in 2023. Its user base now tops 100 million worldwide.

Unless they massively improved their artificial moron, this will not work well. The last times I asked for sources for its claims, it pretty much failed. I had to take some keywords and search myself (not with Google).

So, it's much like Slashdot, then.

I wonder how ChatGPT would work against a mapping request task.
Would it hallucinate and make up directions to get you to your destination?

What exactly makes a chatbot viral? Do I get the flu from it? Is it learning at a geometric rate?

It lowers the user's IQ when they don't verify the bot's results.
Being surrounded by lower IQ people lowers one's own IQ as well.
And then you're more inclined to join in the hype.
Thus, viral.
Can't wait for a version of Idiocracy about AI.

It can't be worse than Google search has become. So let's just see how absolutely fucking laughably awful this is.
