The 2025 AI Search Race

[@Ellerich800]

I use Gemini more and more for shopping. Also, Google's AI Overviews is just one big change to search results. Why assume Google won't continue to change search in the coming months?

[@vaportrails7943]

Google is so covered with ads now that people will get away from it as much as they can. Being able to search the web with ChatGPT directly through Siri will almost certainly cut into Google. But I think which one you choose will depend on what type of search you’re doing. And then there will be incentive for AI to start selling ads. The other question is what it means for advertisers, businesses and others trying to gain attention. Will SEO be replaced by AIO? 🤔

Also, Search without the best Maps/Location, Video, Shopping and Image experience is useless. Google has it all. Others can't compete.

[@rwk1994]

Google has the best search product, it has connection to KZbin and Google Maps, which are both universally used regardless of phone or operating system, and it has it's own mobile operating system. Google is going to keep growing, as search grows along with data. Other paid services will remain niche. Alex's commentary is grounded more in wishful thinking than in reality. Btw, "10%" of consumers are *not* referring to ChatGPT as their search engine of choice. Utter nonsense.

[@sharpvidtube]

Google 90%, Bing 4%, so 10% would take that to 104%, not counting other search engines😂Can't see any LLMs in the list of most popular search engines. I asked Copilot, it told me LLM's are not yet widely used for search. Funny when you use AI, to fact check someone talking about AI.

People need to understand that tasks performed on Google are different from tasks performed on AI.

[@AdityaSingh-007]

I completely disagree with your premise. Google maps data can be used through APIs like all ride hailing companies do and people have to realise that KZbin is like any other website, Companies are scraping data from KZbin like they are doing with other websites and when it comes to search I am now using chatgpt or perplexity for 20-30% of all my searches and perplexity is adding new features every day so I may use it even more for my basic searches also. Microsoft also owned the operating system but they lost the browser wars to a better product called chrome. And when it comes to Google search the data is indexed in such a way that final answer is ranked based on no of backlinks, user location, quality of website and thousand other factors but not necessarily based on complete semantic understanding of data inside the websites but in case of perplexity or chatgpt the data is stored in form of vectors I.e. array of numbers and final answer is fetched on the basis of complete semantic understanding of the question and the subsequent answer that's why it doesn't need to present 10 blue links it can directly come up with the required answer. They hallucinate a lot also but this will be improved over time by getting more and more user feedback.

[@AdityaSingh-007]

I agree it's not a zero sum game Google search is going to be around for a long time but it's use cases will diminish over the time for sure.

[@rwk1994]

@@AdityaSingh-007 KZbin is the most dominant video platform and is unassailable due to its monstrous library of unique and incredibly valuable content (not the nonsense of IG or TikTok). Also, people are typically visual, they want a combination of answers and links to more complex questions, where they can quickly and visually determine what they trust and what they do not. For example, "answers" based on nonsense or political/media bias are not helpful, and this extends to politicized areas like healthcare, medicine, statistics, etc.

I love using Perplexity but I haven't tried any of the other ones.

[@WillJohnston-wg9ew]

Apple has completely whiffed here. It's amazing how each time Steve Jobs leaves the next leadership milks as much as they kind out of his legacy and then fails to innovate or see trends which will disrupt. I was there in the eighties and witnessed it and now we're seeing it again. Siri, Apple Maps, etc.. are horrible products given the amount of innovation in the last 5 years.

[@LePleb7]

Thanks guys

[@AlgoNudger]

Bring my data back! 😂

[@necromancer7712]

Google search is amazing and will get better.

[@circlelabs]

Perplexity is so much better than Google
