    I can’t imagine that whatever they build will be any worse than Google Search.

    OpenAI’s existential problem is that they’ll eat their own lunch and then have nothing left. The reason people make useful content now and give it away for free is because they can get paid for the traffic.

    Take that traffic away and all the content goes behind paywalls and login screens where OpenAI can’t touch it.

        Exactly, not getting money from almost all visits is still better than not getting any visits

      But the content has already been absorbed. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have all of it sucked up (many would argue illegally) and stored as a corpus for them to iterate onto. It’s not like they go out to touch all the web every time they train a new version of their model.

          One of the craziest facts about GPT (to me) is that it was trained on 570GB of text data. That’s obviously a lot of text, but it’s bewildering to me that I could theoretically store their entire training dataset on my laptop.

    If they eventually do have a search engine, it definitely can’t be trusted. GPT-4 loves to hallucinate.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The AI search engine could be a new feature for ChatGPT, or a potentially separate app altogether.

    Microsoft Bing would allegedly power the service from Sam Altman, which could be the most serious threat Google Search has ever faced.

    The report says this new search product could be faster than ChatGPT, without sacrificing its powerful summarizing abilities.

    Now, OpenAI is coming directly for the crown, in an attempt to dethrone the most dominant internet service of all time.

    Perplexity, a small AI search startup with backing from Jeff Bezos, is also competing for Google’s crown.

    If such a small team can steal 10 million people from Google, imagine what OpenAI and Microsoft can do.


    The original article contains 405 words, the summary contains 114 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
