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.

Why OpenAI's SearchGPT won't kill Google Search anytime soon

OpenAI's new search tool, SearchGPT, had been seen as a potential challenger to Google's dominance in the search space. However, concerns about its accuracy were raised by AI researchers and Perplexity AI's founder, highlighting the need for improvement. Despite its potential, the future of GenAI-based search dethroning Google Chrome remains uncertain. If successful, it could revolutionize how users interact with AI. OpenAI plans to integrate the search features from SearchGPT into ChatGPT. Both OpenAI and Perplexity AI have taken different approaches to monetize search and partnership with publishers and content creators. The challenges lie in providing reliable and accurate information while ensuring easy access for users.

Google’s nightmare: How a search spinoff could remake the web

The antitrust case against Google may lead to significant changes in web dynamics as the company faces potential consequences, including licensing its search technology. Smaller search platforms like Brave and Kagi are ready to innovate if given access to Google's index, promising diverse search experiences free from ad-heavy models. However, concerns persist that releasing Google's search index could stifle competitive diversity and indirectly bolster Google's dominance, particularly in AI and search integration.

OpenAI is a bigger threat to Google than US regulators

Google's dominance in the search market is being threatened by OpenAI's AI tools, including the popular ChatGPT chatbot. While a recent antitrust ruling against Google is seen as a win for regulators, the immediate impact of AI on search is a bigger concern for Google. OpenAI's partnership with Apple to bring ChatGPT to its devices and the launch of SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine, further intensify the competition. Google's scattered efforts in AI and previous missteps in releasing AI features have also affected trust. However, ending Google's dominance in search will be challenging, and it remains to be seen if alternative choices will emerge for consumers.

Inside Google's plan to stop Apple from getting serious about search

Google paid Apple around $18 billion in 2021 to keep its search engine as the default on iPhones. However, Google secretly planned to counter Apple's search ambitions by producing its own search tool for iPhones and persuading iPhone users to switch to Google's Chrome browser. The documents reveal Google's strategy to leverage a new European law to challenge Apple's control over the iPhone and gain access to Apple's operating system. This highlights Google's efforts to maintain dominance in the search business and the complex relationship between the two tech giants.
