Google is dead. Bing is too. Yahoo to laugh last.

The first ever interaction with ChatGPT is astonishing. Looking for answers through Google takes ages, and you have to be smart about the words you use. In contrast, Chat GPT offers a faster and more effective way to search for information.
Ask Google
When using Google, it takes a lot of time to find what you're looking for. You have to wade through the countless results returned by Google, and this can be frustrating. Additionally, to get accurate results, you have to be smart about the words you use in your search. You need to understand the terminology related to your question and know which search terms are most likely to return the results you're looking for. Finally, using too many words can result in irrelevant search results.
Ask Chat GPT
Chat GPT offers several advantages over Google, or any other traditional search engine for that matter. Firstly, users can write as much as they want when asking questions to Chat GPT. In fact, the more they write and the more context they provide, the better results are. The more As the AI has more context it can understand and provide more complete answers. Therefore, while users still need to be smart about how they use words, they don't have to be as concerned about how many words they use.
Chat GPT can understand human language patterns and provide relevant results even if the query is worded differently. Finally, Chat GPT does not require users to be efficient with their search. They can take their time to write down their question clearly and effectively.
Answers you get
When using Google, you get a bunch of results, which you have to filter out. This takes too much time, and the results might not be accurate. Chat GPT, on the other hand, tends to go direct to the point and doesn’t wander around. It gives a verbose response that is easy to read and understand. Additionally, Chat GPT adds context to the question, which helps the user understand the answer better.
One simple example
- Hear Matt Damon talking about a price he got together with Ben Affleck. I have no idea what price they could’ve gotten, so I go Google it.
- In terms of results, blue links, there is not one that mentions an oscar, and only in a very small corner, an image in the 7th position shows Affleck holding a golden figure.
- However, if I go ask Chat GPT, it understands immediately the price I’m talking about and explains further.
Conclusion
With the advancement of AI technology, it's clear that search engines like Google are no longer the best tool for the job when it comes to searching for information. Chat GPT and similar AI based tools will offer a faster, more effective, and personalized (or not) way to get answers to your questions.
As AI technology continues to improve, we can only imagine how much more advanced it will become.
I’m really excited about this change and can’t wait to see what kind of advancements it’ll bring.
