I find it hard to believe that it can beat Google in 2 years. ChatGPT is so expensive that OpenAI is starting to charge for it. Search is free and can continue to be free for a long time. It makes no sense that ChatGPT can beat it in 2 years. It's true that it's a big threat to google but Google is a fierce competitor. It has a lot of possible ways it can continue its search domination. It's way too early to say that Google is in trouble. But that does not mean it can ignore it.
- wavy-dingo 4y agoTechnically, search isn’t free. It’s paid for by monetizing your data and ads. You also pay by having worse search results to support Google’s other monetization strategies through vague partnerships. In part, ChatGPT is really good right now because it isn’t constrained by maximizing profits yet. That will change
- tidenly 4y agoI will happily pay for ChatGPT if they can give me a consumer version around the price of Netflix a month. I wouldn't pay for whatever it is Googles doing right now though.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoI’ll happily pay for a pro version of chatGPT. Just ad advertisers subsidize Google search, pro users can subsidize free chatGPT users. It’s not a revolutionary idea. Every SaaS with a free plan works on the same principle.
