Will ChatGPT succeed in denting Google’s search engine armour?

Mint Techcetra

In the latest episode of Mint Techcetra, our hosts Leslie D'Monte and Shouvik Das delve into the recent introduction of ChatGPT search by OpenAI, which challenges Google's long-standing dominance in the search engine market. They reflect on how the conventional method of searching for information—typing queries and sifting through links—might evolve into a more conversational interface, allowing users to simply ask questions and receive direct answers. This shift raises questions about the future of traditional search engines and the potential for significant transformations in how we access and organize online information. As the conversation progresses, they highlight the broader implications of AI integration across various sectors, including the automotive industry. The discussion anticipates the arrival of AI-driven cars in India, powered by advanced Qualcomm chips, which promise to enhance the driving experience through software updates and real-time data processing. The hosts express excitement about features that could optimize routes, monitor vehicle performance, and even alert drivers to potential hazards. However, they also caution against losing the human ability to think critically and navigate challenges independently, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance between leveraging technology and preserving our cognitive skills. In addition to technological advancements, the episode touches upon the socio-economic ramifications of these changes, particularly in the context of the upcoming U.S. presidential elections.
