I find myself using google less and less, all search -really. I messed up my desktop the other day configuring and trying different DE's and window managers, chatGPT fixed some of my issues that would've had me in archlinux forums and reddit for a couple hours probably. Instead it was all good in 20 minutes. Personally, I think Microsoft has a HUGE opportunity here, imagine if the OpenAI - PRO account was actually free -- but only on edge browsers, or inside bing.com. It'd be a bit of a loss leader for a bit, because a lot of compute is required but it'd also help unseat google. Google's only chance is if lamda/bard is better - and so much better it's noticable from day one. Their search results are so horrible lately I don't know anybody who isn't 'shopping around' right now for something better. Bing, DDG, Brave, Neeva, You.com, etc.

> Personally, I think Microsoft has a HUGE opportunity here, imagine if the OpenAI - PRO account was actually free -- but only on edge browsers, or inside bing.com If that were true I’d see people downloading edge and only using it for LLMs. MS hasn’t figured out how to monetize it yet, their only goal is to catch up and possibly dethrone google. Not an easy feat from MS who have blundered and still blunder a lot. Google search on the other hand is becoming less and less useful day by day.
