OpenAI set to announce search engine, one day before Google conference • FRANCE 24 English

OpenAI will announce plans for a search engine powered by artificial intelligence on Monday May 13, Reuters reports. It's the latest challenge to search king Google and comes just one day before the tech giant's annual developer conference. On this week's Tech 24, Peter O'Brien looks at what might get Google sweating, amid changing search habits, a federal antitrust trial and smart new AI "answer engines". One of these is Perplexity AI. Speaking to FRANCE 24, CEO Aravind Srinivas says its results "cut through the noise" that comes up on a traditional Google search.

[@buddha6659]

This is obviously different. Their page ranker probably has ai embedded within. In the case of Google and Bing etc, they're more like the ai scouring the page ranking results for a response

[@WesMann]

If you have AI it's already a search engine. Why would you want to go back to normal searching and clicking on answers when you can just ask for the answer and get it. If openai wants to sell ads then just put an ad on the answer

[@javi3563]

because currently openAI and other models are trained on datasets and so they usually update them every so often. like gpt-3 and gpt-4. GPT can't currently browse the web and read the latest up to date information. probably for legal and ethical reasons to they want to make sure what the AI responds is credible and doesn't impose any possible legal risks. I think it will be cool to see a search engine aided by AI.

[@sullfolife]

To be honest the Google search system is chaos, you are looking for something, now, you have the answer buried in the middle of extra text made to keep you on the page, that is also loaded with many big ad frames, you end scrolling for two line that doesn’t even give you a proper answer..

[@ironspider9280]

5:39 that's not true. They won't need humans to write things for them. The robots will be able to observe things in the world and aggregate data around world events and report on it in ways that's humans never could.

[@ovorado-theplacetoexcel9530]

[@DhananjayVenuri]

Very nice..google will be forced to replace or perish its search results page ranking by advst payments over the context... Gemini versus openAI search will be exciting to watch as value will be incredible with the AI search context rather then advst payment domination.

Perplexity blows Google out of the water for asking questions and not only getting streamlined concise answers but suggestions for additional questions, Google is only a step above bing for looking at websites, it is not relevant to me for gaining or expanding my knowledge anymore as it has too much spam to wade through to get any kind of answer to a question

[@ibodana]

And Perplexity Does use Google to answer the Questions.

[@DJAutoload]

It would’ve a been a good point to discuss but it appears Perplexity does not use Google's technology or search results in any way. It is an entirely independent AI search engine that crawls the web using its own systems and generates answers directly through large language models like GPT-4, without relying on or integrating with Google.

[@telluwide5553]

It's a gimmick. Nobody has the computing power or enough access to energy to make a real AI search engine work... Good luck using it! It will be slow and give you results you'll need to double check anyway. Big waste of time

[@haroldpierre1726]

While I agree with your assessment of the hurdles these companies have to overcome, people who use Perplexity swear by it and most have transitioned from Google to Perplexity. I am not impressed with Perplexity. I use GPT-4 or Claude-3 for my searches. I only use Google to locate a local business.

[@haroldpierre1726]

@@aberba it's the same reason why we have more than one car company. Users have preferences and companies have solutions that differentiate their product from others

[@telluwide5553]

@aberba Of course there are. But the amount of processing power, energy, etc. to perform millions and billions of searches a day? I'm talking about scaling enough to even compete with Google... No way. In fact, Google's been talking about adding a premium AI search feature to Google search. Getting people to pay for search that would be slower and still not accurate is a bit of a stretch... Hell, OpenAi still loses money on ChatGPT, even on its paid version. Like I said, it's all a gimmick at this stage and highly overrated..
