OpenAI plans to announce its artificial intelligence-powered search product on Monday, according to two sources familiar with the matter, raising the stakes in its competition with search king Google.
i really don’t want anything that further obfuscates the experience of me typing in a word and it showing me pages with that word. and i don’t know why i’d want to type a full ass sentence in natural english versus just keywords
I find that I have to do that now, because it seems the internet has been geared towards people that think you have to ask the computer a question instead of searching for key words like how it used to work.
I find it more difficult now because often the search results are what the search engine thinks I want, instead of what I actually asked for.

I mean, this is what we see/read in sci-fi series and movies at least since the 60’s.
They’ve probably got enough machine learning to take keywords and figure out intent. That’s essentially what Google does with autocomplete. They (Google) use n-grams. So I expect OpenAI already has this all figured out.

What worries me is AI getting things wrong and perpetuating lies that are also made up via AI (maybe even the same AI). Also, how will their algorithm work? Do they fact check things they display? I hate Google, but at least they do have somewhat of a push to ensure authority and trust via their algos.
What would open AI offer that Google aren’t doing? I feel like they keep fixing something that wasn’t broken and now they can’t go back to the old good search engine.
Well, they could potentially pull from various sources to make a cohesive answer. Right now Google’s SGE (search generative experience, their AI in organic search) pulls one source to answer and then offers some other links that also answer the same question.
I completely agree with you though. Shit is getting worse for no reason other than $$$$$$$

You don’t type questions into search engines? I’ve been doing that for well over a decade and it helps find others asking the same thing.

And I prefer it the other way.

Hopefully new competitors on the market will all have to try their best before they start being shitty.
