SearchGPT the google killer?

**wonderpunter** · 26 July 2024, 5:07 am

this has been on the cards for a while, it does look pretty impressive results filled with correct answerts not sponsored junk, mainstream cover all topic sites and overloaded spam. will publishers finally get thier worth? https://openai.com/index/searchgpt-prototype/

Hard to foresee how this will influence SEO.

All of the current search products are awful. Hopefully, something like SearchGPT can actually bring in some needed changes. But will we really see massive adoption beyond the tech-savvy crowd? Do you see your friend whose main computer is a phone or an xbox using this? I dont.

But as the same time it is from a company backed by Microsoft, so it can't really be bullied until they go away.

That's the main problem. A good product without market penetration will remain a niche.

I don't really see this making a large difference in the short to mid term.

The average user will be searching with whatever makes sense and whatever is most easily accessible. And tbh in most cases whatever you're searching for is a rather easy find.
Once it goes live it will definitely have it's own niche user base, but that's about it for now. At least until you get things like GPT browser, GPT-integrated phone OSes, etc.

As others have mentioned, there will be an adoption curve, and it might be limited to a niche of users.

I don't think it will be a "Google killer" but rather a new player entering the game, one that will change the rules. IMHO, from what I have seen, it offers quick answers similar to what Google already does, so I don't see it as a threat to it (at least yet).

Google's got Android, and pays billions to Apple to keep them default on imorons. No chatGPTea can challenge it.

You got smartphone cornered, everything else is primary-school math.

It's hard to say what's going to happen, but i think it might cut a decent chunk of Google users. Don't forget that one of Google's top competitors, Microsoft, is the biggest investor in OpenAI.

Apple has also partnered with OpenAI recently, and imagine if Apple at some point decides to stick SearchGPT in iPhones by default...

Check how Alphabet is dropping, especially after OpenAI announced the search engine launch:

I dont think we are talking niche users here or even something remotely close to very gradual adoption.
the adoption curves become much faster as time goes by as everything is spread much faster than in the past.

I was surprised to learn that most of my cousins, ranging from 10-30 were using chatgpt and bard on daily basis to search for things, and thats before the search GPT.

They are deifinatley behind the curve, I think the are coming down from the peak.

It doesn't take too much of a push for market penetration. Once you have eyeballs, most companies can find a way to make a profit.

Example one is Google itself. It was made for geeks. Programmers loved it. Plus it was just plain search results that were better than all the competition by miles, thanks to Sergei and Larry. Initially there were no ads at all, not a single banner ad like AltaVista, or flashy graphics like Yahoo, no info or eyesore like HotBot etc. Just basic search results that were much better than all of the competition.

Facebook was initially for colleges only, a way for the Zuck to find women with attractive faces.

IMO natural language search will definitely be a part of the future. Google will probably have "classic" or "AI enhanced". Purely my own speculation of course.
