FROM THE FORUMS #8 AussiePunter 1 August 2024, 5:40 a.m. Public Member 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 Sergey 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 Zuckerberg to find women with attractive faces. In my opinion, natural language search will definitely be a part of the future. Google will probably have “classic” or “AI enhanced” version. Purely my own speculation, of course. “ Reply With Quote #6 MalikBhai 30 July 2024, 8:41 a.m. Private Member Google’s got Android, and pays billions to Apple to keep the default on “iMorons.” No ChatGPT can challenge it. If you’ve got smartphones cornered, everything else is primary-school math. “ Reply With Quote #7 MMM 30 July 2024, 1:46 p.m. Private Member I don’t 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 ages 10 to 30, were using ChatGPT and Bard on daily basis to search for things, and that’s before SearchGPT. “ Reply With Quote While the AI-search is great for some things, it’s not really working in regard to finding unique and new content, which some people are searching. It’s too general and mostly promotes the same search results, which will be bad for the smaller man. #9 LinuxGam 23 August 2024, 12:58 p.m. Public Member It depends what you are searching for. If you are searching for news or social or something to read, you want the website. If you are looking for the answer to a problem or an example of something and particularly, and if you also want it in a certain format, ChatGPT is way faster. Don’t be surprised if Google follows suit very quickly. “ Reply With Quote GPWAtimes.org 16
