Ready to go beyond Google? Here's how to use new generative AI search sites

The rise of generative AI chatbots is changing the way people search for information, amid concerns about the declining quality of Google search results. Google itself has launched its own AI chatbot assistant named Bard, which has now been replaced by Gemini. Microsoft's Bing search engine offers AI-powered searches through Copilot. Several startup AI search sites have also emerged. AI searches should be conversational, with queries framed as full and detailed questions. AI chatbots provide readable summaries of information instead of throwing up a list of links, but there are concerns about their accuracy and reliability.

News publishers see Google’s AI search tool as a traffic-destroying nightmare

Publishers are growing increasingly concerned about Google's AI-powered search tool, fearing that it could significantly reduce their web traffic. The tool, called "Search Generative Experience," uses AI to provide full answers to search queries, eliminating the need for users to click on links to access publishers' sites. Google's integration of AI in search could have a detrimental impact on publishers who heavily rely on Google-generated traffic. While Google promises to prioritize sending traffic to publishers, estimates suggest a potential loss of 20-40% of Google-generated traffic for publishers.

Here’s why AI search engines really can’t kill Google

AI-powered search engines are being touted as the future of search, with companies like Perplexity and You.com claiming to be the next-gen search products. However, the real question is not only how well these search engines can find information but also how well they can handle various types of queries that users typically have. When it comes to navigation queries, AI search engines struggle to provide immediate and accurate results compared to Google. For information queries, AI search engines vary in their performance, with Google often providing faster and more reliable results. In terms of exploration queries, AI search engines can shine by providing more in-depth and synthesized answers with helpful citations. However, when it comes to queries like "what to watch," Google's specific page design and curated recommendations surpass the capabilities of AI bots. Overall, while AI-powered search engines show promise in certain areas, they still have a long way to go in replicating the comprehensive and efficient search experience that Google provides.

The Google Gemini conspiracy theory

The Google Gemini conspiracy theory

Google recently faced a setback with the launch of their new Gemini AI model. Accurate images were not generated, and some text outputs were impractical. This fueled conspiracy theories, suggesting that Google intentionally sabotaged the launch to prevent generative AI from overshadowing their profitable Search business. The rise of generative AI threatens Google's revenue from ads displayed on search results. The theory proposes that if AI can provide direct answers, users won't need to click on ads. However, Google has declined to comment on the conspiracy theory and is exploring alternative revenue streams, such as subscription-based AI services.

Google's proposed search result changes get thumbs up from EU airlines

Google's proposed changes to its search results to meet EU tech legislation have gained support from Airlines for Europe, a lobbying group representing major airlines. Google has been making adjustments to its search result formats in response to demands from various stakeholders, including price-comparison sites and airlines. The company aims to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) by avoiding favoritism towards its own products and services. Airlines for Europe has expressed approval for certain changes, such as the horizontal layout and the use of blue to distinguish airlines and comparison sites. However, the group has raised concerns about the display of prices and the use of vague dates in search results. Failure to reach a consensus may prompt Google to return to its previous format of 10 blue links in search results.
