What ChatGPT and Bing’s fusion really means to you
It’s all over the news, but why does it matter?
Although it was leaked a few weeks ago, the announcement that will forever change how you interact with your electronic devices has been recently officialized, sending shockwaves in media like few times we’ve seen.
As you probably may know by now, ChatGPT is being added to Microsoft’s search engine Bing, creating the first AI-powered Internet searcher.
But this announcement is much more than what meets the eye, it’s the confirmation that Generative AI will become an essential part of our lives, and what we thought would happen in five to ten years is happening just now.
The move is so sudden, that has forced Google to rush its own version way earlier than it would’ve wanted to. It is that serious.
But are you aware of all the other changes that are soon coming into your life?
The revolution is here, and you need to be prepared for it.
Changing how we search & learn
Have you ever wondered how many searches Google processes every second?
99,000.
And how much does that equal in a day?
8.5 billion searchers. Per day.
Considering there are almost 8 billion people on Earth, that means that we average more than one search per person, and that’s considering that only 5 billion of those have access to the Internet, and there are many kids and elderly people that obviously don’t count.
It has become an almost natural thing to do. And now it’s about to change completely.
AI-powered search
With the inclusion of ChatGPT into Microsoft Bing, we have the first-ever Internet search engine that not only allows you to do the usual link search we’ve grown accustomed to, but also allows you to query ChatGPT for instant responses.
To understand how relevant this is, ask yourself this question: How many times have you searched simple, direct questions on Google?
Actually, I would probably guess that the majority of search intents are more focused…
