People said same kind of things in the past, ie. about Nokia when iPhone came out etc.

I’ll admit anything is possible, but it’s highly unlikely. It’s not like Google was caught completely unaware and incapable, they’ve been refining this tech for a while internally.

The big difference here is that you had too buy either the Nokia or the iPhone. Google is preinstalled on billions of phones for free, and this will not be changing anytime soon. How are you going to get millions of old folk that dont care about Bing vs Google to change the default search engine on their smartphone if you are Bing?

    Apple cares about experience just as much as money. Their own search engine isn't that far off Bing and both are way behind Google.

      Given Apple's stance on "privacy" I do not think this is fully true. If DuckDuckGo or another privacy focused vendor offered more cash than Google does, Apple would take it.

      >> "Apple cares about experience just as much as money." On the other hand, it's the perfect opportunity to put the 16 ML cores in my phone to work. Local Siri uses a generic model today, but I would use an Apple search engine if it could deliver genuinely personalized results instead of the SEO wasteland Google offers.

        You do use an Apple search engine everyday if you use Safari. It's what powers the Suggestions feature.

Except that this is not even remotely comparable. ChatGPT on its own is not a replacement for Google Search and spending more than a few minutes with either makes it pretty obvious that it isn't. Integration with Bing would get you part way there but still it simply hasn't got the rich database that Google has e.g. Map POIs, YouTube, Ad partner data sharing etc.

  I know right? It doesn't even have a keyboard.
