If Bing is smart I think there's a real chance to dethrone Google in the coming years. In the past 3 years, Google has gone from damn near perfect, to damn near useless. It no longer even listens to what I type in, and very basic queries that I know should have results come back with total meh. I'm not sure what's happening over there at Google. 5 years ago I tried to switch to DDG, but couldn't because the results were too bad. Now, I think DDG is about on par, and that's more from Google degradation, than DDG improvement. It's unfortunate because I'm struggling to find simple things on a daily basis, especially software related things.
To think Bing was not even a viable competitor to Google some years ago and yet they've come to market with something Google should have done years ago, considering their expertise in this area.
I'm sure Google is watching carefully, maybe scrambling to match?
"We're reimagining how people search for, explore and interact with information, making it more natural and intuitive than ever before to find what you need."
Google is progressively getting worse, month by month. I think Bing will overtake them if they just stand still, but it would be a while. At this rate, I think Google could drop the top spot in 5 years or less.
It's gonna be a long time before people use bing as a verb too. Plus many people use Google as the address bar, I think Google is still the top search on Google.
One of the questions I haven’t seen answered on these *GPT topics is — does it hallucinate its references or does it use a deterministic process to relate its output to its source?
Google is king in having reduced the cost of search queries. After all, they process billions of them, they need to bring down the cost. The built their own chips for their datacenters specifically optimized for these algorithms.
ChatGPT, or really any GPT algorithm, currently does not have a way to scale in a cost efficient matter. I am really wondering how Microsoft plans to make this sustainable. I assume they dont, and just throw money against it to gain market share. Just to put the finger to Google. They'll get the money somewhere else and just sit it out. Amazon with the diapers.com story all over again. In the end we'll all be worse off
Never forget Microsoft is actually evil. I would not be surprised if they start to lock chatgpt style searches somehow in their corporate licenses and force users to use them through their IT execs. Much like they have gained market share with Teams.
I am still debating, if they release it, should i use it to burn MIcrosoft's money? Or should I stay away from it because stupid investors and sales people will be all up in this
It's not a leak, just overplayed marketing tactic. If there's a bug or another Tay incident, you can say "this wasn't production ready", if it's a leak you have plausible deniability to save face.
