ChatGPT have changed the game and Google is finally forced to compete again. However, people who say it's doom and gloom for Google can't see the forest for the trees.
1. Google is one of the most beloved brands in the world. Only Apple's brand is stronger.
2. Chrome has taken over Windows and it's the default browser on Android. Also, Google pays Apple to be the default search engine on iOS.
3. Bing.com on desktop is already years behind Google in UI & UX. Add the ChatGPT part on the right side of the search results and it gets from bad to worse.
4. Google will release a competent answer to ChatGPT at I/O 2023. It's going to be much more polished than Microsoft's version. Microsoft will steal some users from Google but Google will recover. Like Satya Nadella said in the recent The Verge interview, they are looking to steal away one user at a time.
- bluescrn 4y agoI don't see a ChatGPT-based search tool as desirable, given that so much effort appears to be going into preventing it from outputting 'wrongthink'. Search for anything vaguely controversial and it'll likely just respond with its equivalent of “I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that”
- graphe 4y agoGoogle doesn't do that too? I don't need to use chatGPT to look up crime statistics, most of the info that you'd find on these "news" sites are just as bad.
- graphe 4y agoIs Google beloved? It was good. I use YouTube and the experience sucks now, google kills all the cool software they make too. People grudgingly use it but it's not beloved by users. Advertisers might be different.
- pb7 4y agoYou might be in a bubble. There’s a great big world out there that doesn’t share the sentiment you see on HN.
- graphe 4y agoI'm not really on here much, normal people noticed services like whatever chat in gmail being killed, the search sucking, and YouTube getting ad everywhere sucked. Some google products are loved though like Chromecast and Google fiber when it was around.
