A lot of non-power users are complementing Google search with ChatGPT. The main reason is that it will give an answer to more specific questions. Like “what are some quotes famous athletes have said about Usain Bolt”.
- throwaway2037 2y ago> Like “what are some quotes famous athletes have said about Usain Bolt”. What a strange counterexample. When I try exactly that search in Google, I get a nice list of quotes from "AI Overview" in the results.
- kenjackson 2y agoI thought they were talking about the traditional blue links Google search results, not the AI returned results. Then sure -- ChatGPT, Gemini, etc... I put them all in the same bucket as complementary. Interestingtly though, I don't get the AI Overview on mobile, so there I'd have to explicitly go to an LLM focused interface.
- throwaway2037 2y agoI just tried the same search from my mobile phone. I see the same AI generated response. Real question: Do you think normies distinguish between traditional Google search results and AI Overview? To me, normies use Google to find an answer. They don't care too much where the answer comes from.
- kenjackson 2y agoI get this message on mobile: “An AI Overview is not available for this search”. But it does work on desktop.
