Will ChatGPT Replace Google? The Future of Search Engines in the AI Era

ChatGPT Is a large language model that was developed by OpenAI, and it's trained to work on conversational text. it generates human-like text based on the input it receives and uses machine-learning techniques. it can be used for a variety of natural language processing tasks such as language translation, text generation, and text summarization. ChartGPT is a type of GPT-3 Language model. Since it is capable of understanding and responding, it has useful and informative answers to questions.

ChatGPT and come up with our own judgment based on our discovery. There are a lot of things ChatGPT can and can’t do below; we'll look at some of the things that it can’t do.

ChatGPT is a tool that purely generates text and can't perform actions or tasks. it doesn't have any capabilities beyond its ability to generate responses as though it were a real person.

It is a trained model, and hence it can’t learn or adapt to any new information beyond what it's trained on. For example, at the moment, ChatGPT has information up to the year 2021 and can’t give any information beyond that.

It can't respond to voice searches or give any visual responses.

All the things that ChatGPT can't do, search engines perform effortlessly. It's really hard to tell if language models such as ChatGPT could have a future. The rate at which technology is advancing brings uncertainty as to where these language models are headed.

Language models are likely to be commoditized in the future. Finding sources of data that could train these models to survive in these different domains is essential to consider.

The future and existence of these models lie in finding unique sources of data that can be used in training the models. ChatGPT has received quite the attention since its release, although I believe that its replacing Google is still far-fetched and won't be happening anytime soon.

Stanford introduces DetectGPT to help educators fight back against ChatGPT generated papers
By Dean Howell - January 28, 2023

In fact, it's so good that it can generate articulate and convincing papers for your college coursework. Because of this, there is now a need for systems that detect machine-generated text.

Recently, a team of researchers at Stanford proposed a new method called DetectGPT, which aims to be among the first tools to combat generated text in higher education. The method is based around the idea that text generated by LLMs typically hover around specific regions of the negative curvature regions of the model's log probability function.
Click to expand...

This method, called "zero-shot", allows DetectGPT to detect machine written text without any knowledge of the AI that was used to generate it. It operates in stark contrast to other methods which require training 'classifiers' and datasets of real and generated passages.
Click to expand...

In summary, DetectGPT is a new method for detecting machine-generated text that leverages the unique characteristics of text generated by LLMs. It is a zero-shot method that does not require any additional data or training, making it an efficient and effective tool for identifying machine-generated text. As the use of LLMs continues to grow, the importance of corresponding systems for detecting machine-generated text will become increasingly critical.

DetectGPT is a promising approach that could have a significant impact in many areas, and its further development could be beneficial for many fields.

Simple, it will replace Google and all human life in a century or so, hopefully not in my lifetime.

plat · Jan 28, 2023

A pithy observation from one of my favorite Twitter people. Would not use Bing for anything, anyway. Google: rarely, out of desperation. lol

But if those two krakens assimilate ChatGPT, can others like DuckDuckGo resist?

MS has spend 10 billions dollars (10 mrd for EU) for chatgpt, i dont think that google is now able to recover chatgpt for them. google - you are out!

I'm watching this Sunday program and it's featuring ChatGPT. New York City schools have already banned it. It mentioned, as did the linked articles above, a tool in current development for detecting whether something is ChatGPT-generated or not.

But then I found this ghacks article describing a "simple" method to potentially bypass the ChatGPT "watermark" and that's to run the text thru the AI again, leaving text without the apparent "characteristic" word patterns.

https://www.ghacks.net/2023/01/01/openai-chatgpt-watermark/

Some people fear this no end but I don't really care about it, not right now. I mean, remember "deep fakes?"

Chinese search giant Baidu to launch own version of ChatGPT
By Justin Luna @_justinluna - January 30, 2023

Chinese multinational technology company Baidu is set to roll out its own version of the popular ChatGPT chatbot, according to a Bloomberg report.
Click to expand...

A person reportedly familiar with the matter said that Baidu will introduce its yet-to-be-named chatbot in March. It will also be embedded into Baidu's main search services, meaning users could soon get conversation-style search results much like on ChatGPT.

Baidu has also reportedly invested billions of dollars in its Ernie system, a large-scale AI model that the company has been developing for several years now. This will serve as the foundation of the company's ChatGPT-like platform.

The rise of ChatGPT has also worried search engine giant Google, which according to the New York Times, recently declared a “code red," akin to pulling the fire alarm.

Whether you like it or not, AI is coming to search engines
By Martin Brinkmann - January 30, 2023

The public release of ChatGPT has started an AI craze that has taken the online world by storm. ChatGPT, for those unaware is a language model that has been trained for dialogue specifically.
Click to expand...

It works similarly to chatbots, but is not as limited to returning information based on certain keywords in requests.
Extensions popped up quickly that added ChatGPT responses to search engines, but this was just the beginning.

Microsoft announced plans to integrate AI into its Bing Search Engine and to invest into OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT and related products.
Google, reportedly, consulted the company’s founders recently and it looks as if the company plans to test a chatbot like AI in search this year.
Click to expand...

Brendan Eich, CEO of Brave Software Inc, revealed this week that AI is coming to Brave Search soon. It will provide summaries with sources at the top of the results on Brave Search.
There is also Neeva Search, which introduced AI into the company’s search engine this week.

So, the main idea is that the response quality improves through the use of AI.
Click to expand...

2023 is the year of AI in search. Whether Google or Microsoft will indeed add AI components permanently to search, or limit the components to certain fields, to better control the outputs, is open for debate.

What is clear is that Internet users will find more and more AI components added to search and other products on the Internet, and maybe also locally on their devices.

The creator of Gmail says AI could disrupt Google's business within two years
ChatGPT might ‘destroy’ Google within 2 years
By John Callaham @JCalNEO - January 31, 2023

The biggest trend in tech in the last few months has been the rise of ChatGPT. The AI tool created by OpenAI launched late in 2022, and has reportedly caused Google to go into "code red" mode to create its own AI-based tools to combat it. However, one person who made a disruptive tool for Google in the past says that the company's search engine ad business is in grave danger.
Click to expand...

In a Twitter thread, (via BGR) Paul Buchheit, the creator of Gmail, offers this prediction:

Google may be only a year or two away from total disruption. AI will eliminate the Search Engine Result Page, which is where they make most of their money.
He predicts that typing in the typical search bar could, instead of sending you to a Google search engine page, simply use an AI-based auto-complete feature that will give you an answer to your question. That answer may also include a URL link to a website for more info.
Click to expand...

While an AI bot like ChatGPT will still use the search engine backend at Google, The company's massive ad business could be shut down if the AI doesn't send traffic to the search page itself.

Gave ChatGPT a short spin around the block. Posed two simple queries. "Describe the plot to Shakespeare's most famous play." "Describe the plot to Mozart's most famous opera."
End results: "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Marriage of Figaro," respectively. Both responses would easily fit in the category of less than a 100 word essay at most. Concise and infallibly accurate.
And then for the sake of being off the wall, I plugged in "Describe the plot of the movie 'Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trick Baby.'" The response was wildly inaccurate, and yet I was astonished any reply at all was forthcoming.
Little doubt IMO that this is a peek at what search engines can, should, and will evolve to in the near future. Say goodbye to propellers, and hello to turbine engines awaiting around the corner.
A crude analogy, sure. But if the shoe fits...

Hmm, correct. Nothing on Ars' main webpage about it, wonder why it was pulled? There are plenty of other sources online describing Google's "scared" reaction to ChatGPT.

Lagavulin16 · Feb 1, 2023

Another wink of an eye visit to ChatGPT in the arena of mainstream entertainment. Posed the question of Steve Perry's last album with Journey. "Trial by fire released in 1996." Good job, ChatGPT.

And lastly, "Are the members of the band Rush atheist?" Answer-- ver batim-- "The members of the band Rush have not publicly stated that they are atheists. Their lyrics often touch on universal and philosophical themes, but do not explicitly mention atheism.
The personal beliefs of the members of the band are not well-known and are not a matter of public record." One out of three sentences correct here. Meh... nice try. Kudos to ChatGPT's undeniable eloquence.

I'll play with ChatGPT later with linear regression equations, politics, religion(s) in general, and eventually its own projections about the demise of the planet earth and the self-obliteration of the human race. Assuming ChatGPT is still alive and thriving five or so years from now,
the answer to both of the latter questions may be as harrowing as they are compelling.

Why Amazon doesn’t want its employees talking to ChatGPT

In fact, the warning from Amazon originates from one of its corporate employees who actually saw ChatGPT mimicking some of Amazon’s internal data. That isn’t to say the tool recreated the data, but it was able to mimic it in a way that appeared convincing enough for the attorney to sound the alarm about possible data breaches occurring as text prompts.

So, there you have it. Amazon has warned users against using ChatGPT for help with research to help them carry out the day-to-day tasks associated with their jobs. It isn’t because of some overly controlling urge from the company or its billionaire tech boss but is legitimately based on fears of internal and sensitive data falling into third-party hands.

Google's experimental ChatGPT rivals include a search bot and a tool called 'Apprentice Bard'
Employees are currently testing the products that use Google's LaMDA conversation technology.
By Mariella Moon @mariella_moon - February 1, 2023

Google employees have been testing several potential ChatGPT competitors as part of the tech giant's bid to launch a response to OpenAI's technology, according to CNBC. A previous New York Times report said that Google CEO Sundar Pichai declared "code red" and accelerated AI development to be able to unveil at least 20 AI-powered products this year. Now, CNBC has detailed several of the products the company is working on, including a chatbot called "Apprentice Bard" that uses Google's LaMDA conversation technology.
Click to expand...

Apparently, Google management asked the LaMDA team to prioritize working on a ChatGPT competitor, telling them that it takes precedence over any other project and even warning them not to attend unrelated meetings. Apprentice Bard reportedly looks and functions like ChatGPT in that a user can type a question or a prompt in a text box and then get a written response.

CNBC says it saw samples proving the bot's answers include information from recent events — something ChatGPT isn't capable of, because it only has limited knowledge about anything that happened after 2021. In one example, Apprentice Bard was able to answer whether there will be another round of layoffs at Google.
Click to expand...

Google is also reportedly testing a new search page that uses a question and answer format. The experimental home page features five potential question prompts replacing "I'm feeling lucky" under the search bar. After a user types in their query, the page generates human-like responses in gray bubbles.

It's unclear at this point which of Google's projects are going to be released to the public. Google AI chief Jeff Dean told employees during an all-hands meeting to discuss the company's response to ChatGPT that it's moving "more conservatively than a small startup."

OpenAI's new tool may help you identify text written by ChatGPT
But it can “mislabel both AI-generated and human-written text.”
By Will Shanklin - January 31, 2023

OpenAI has released a tool to help you determine whether text was more likely written by a human or AI. However, the ChatGPT maker warns that its equivalent of Blade Runner’s Voight-Kampff test can also get it wrong.
Click to expand...

The tool includes a box where you can paste text that’s at least 1,000 characters long. It will then spit out a verdict, like “The classifier considers the text to be very unlikely AI-generated” or “The classifier considers the text to be possibly AI-generated.”

So although the tool could raise false flags in either direction, my (tiny sample size) test suggests at least a degree of accuracy. Still, OpenAI cautions not to use the tool alone to determine content’s authenticity; it also works best with text of 1,000 words or longer.
Click to expand...

Although ChatGPT is currently the best publicly available natural language AI model, Google, Baidu and others are working on competitors.

Google has only released extremely constricted versions of its chatbot in a beta, presumably out of ethical concerns. With the genie out of the bottle, it will be interesting to see how long that restraint lasts.

Report: Microsoft plans to update Bing with a faster version of ChatGPT in the coming weeks
By Aisha Malik @aiishamalik1 - February 1, 2023

Microsoft is working to incorporate a faster version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, known as GPT-4, into Bing in the coming weeks in a move that would make the search engine more competitive with Google, according to a new report from Semafor. The integration would see Bing using GPT-4 to answer search queries.
Click to expand...

People familiar with the matter told Semafor that the main difference between ChatGPT and GPT-4 is speed. Although ChatGPT sometimes takes a up to a few minutes to form a response, GPT-4 is said to be a lot quicker in responding to queries. The latest software’s responses are also said to be more detailed and more humanlike.

The planned incorporation of ChatGPT into Microsoft products is expected to trigger new competition in internet search, which has largely been dominated by Google. By using GPT-4, Bing would be able to provide users with humanlike answers, as opposed to just simply displaying a list of links.
Click to expand...

Semafor reports that OpenAI is also planning to introduce a mobile ChatGPT app in the future. Since there is currently only a web version of ChatGPT, the introduction of a mobile version would allow OpenAI to expand ChatGPT’s user base by making the software more accessible.
