OpenAI has just entered the search market with its new AI-powered search engine, SearchGPT, that is widely viewed as a play for rival Google’s $175 billion-per-year search business Here’s what you need to know:
What is SearchGPT?
OpenAI is working with third-party partners and news organizations (i.e. Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, The Atlantic, and Vox Media) to build its search results, emphasizing collaboration and seeking feedback from news partners.
SearchGPT’s Launch Plan
1. Initial release of “temporary prototype”to 10,000 users
2. Gather feedback and refine the product
3. Future integration of best features into ChatGPT for broader accessibility
How Is SearchGPT Different From Google Search?
SearchGPT provides conversational, AI-generated responses to queries
Includes clear links to sources within answers
Allows for follow-up questions, building on previous context
Utilizes real-time data for up-to-date information
My Perspective on SearchGPT’s Impact On The Search Market
Here are my two cents:
While SearchGPT represents a significant development in AI-powered search, it’s too early to determine its full impact on Google’s business.
The prototype’s limited release and OpenAI’s focus on partnering with publishers suggest a cautious approach rather than an immediate threat to Google’s dominance
Concerns about AI-powered search tools’ accuracy and potential for plagiarism remains
The launch signals an intensifying AI arms race in the search market
The Big Question: Will SearchGPT revolutionize how we find information online, or will Google maintain its stronghold on the search market? Stay tuned!
