Over the years of Google's existence, we have become accustomed to searching for answers to all our questions through it. That is why the term "googling" quickly became common and Google did not have adequate competition for a long time. Now it has, in the form of artificial intelligence from OpenAI. Many users have started using its chatGPT not only for creating or chatting, but also for getting answers to your curious questions. But it turned out that chatGPT is literally stealing from Google.
OpenAI is trying to introduce us to chatGPT as excellent a personal AI assistant, a programming and creative assistant, a partner and perhaps even psychological support. And it also shows how it can answer questions about current events. When you ask what time the World Cup match is on TV, chatGPT will tell you right away. How does it know? Simply because uses search results Google.
About being chatGPT directly connected to Google Search, not a single word has been said yet. But now it has been confirmed that this is the case. According to findings by The Information, the language model uses the web-scraping service SerpApi, from which it draws up-to-date information about all areas of the contemporary world. It literally sucks up Google Search. And thanks to the current antitrust dispute, it has become clear that OpenAI rents servers from Google Cloud.
There's nothing wrong with that, but it's quite a paradox. Sam Altman as the boss OpenAI namely chatGPT promotes itself as Google's biggest competitor and the future of search. Recently, Google asked for direct access to the search index to provide better answers to users, which the tech giant refused. So OpenAI found another way - and without Google, it would clearly be completely lost.
