The advent of natural language processing (NLP) in communication with systems and process building has led to a paradigm shift in our approach to obtaining information. After 25 years of search engine thinking, our brains have become conditioned to use keywords, exclusionary terms, and other techniques to find what we need. The transition to NLP systems can be challenging, and this change is breaking our brains in several ways:
I fully admit IDK anything about this new technology except what little I’ve read or heard. But even Elon Musk & the head of Google say they don’t fully understand AI & Musk has real concerns about it. I’ve heard students are using it to write term papers & artists (musicians, poets, authors, etc) are using it to write works. It seems to me that removes real thought process, struggle & esp artistic creativity & thus, dilutes significantly any real praise, award or reward for one’s talent if the term aper, poem, book or song are a success. That seems like a recipe to dumb us down further than we already are. There was a lot to be said for memorization of facts, routes, phone numbers & such, to doing research & finding materials or a book to read in a library, starting @ the card catalog....
No thanks. ChatGPT can stay in the garbage can. And search engines are pretty much garbage anyway. Both can be completely manipulated. And neither are free to provide results freely.
ChatGPT is not artificial intelligence. It is a directed search engine with a NLP front end.
ChatGPT does not tell you the truth. It does not tell you facts. It tells you what its creators want you to hear. It is a "propaganda machine".
This is the same thing Google has been doing for over 8 years. - with a "human friendly" front end. When you do a Google search - the search results are slanted toward ways where Google can monetize your actions.
I create ML/MV systems that read documents, see opioid abuse, understand human behavior etc.
This is making me have some very interesting thoughts about how Internet search in general, and ChatGPT in particular, hooks into tags we have in our hippocampus. In short -- a mixed bag. We are using our limbic minds far more, and counting on external narratives connected to these pages to shape our thinking. Huh.
I think what you speak of here (and how things may evolve) is an intersection of 3 different, moving variables:
1. The transition from search engine thinking to Chat search. (This is one human variable.)
2. How ChatGPT and other NL systems might evolve. (The AI variable.)
3. How traditional search engines might evolve (in order to remain relevant). (The search engine variable.)
Of course, it's hard to predict things, but in my view, I don't know if search engines will be rendered 100% obsolete. I think that Google knows that if they want to remain relevant, they may have to incorporate ChatGPT-like functionality into their search engine.
Also, I heard that Google has a far larger data/text database than OpenAI does.
On another note, if OpenAI decides to open an advertising opportunity to advertisers (sort of like Google Ads), I think some of Google's ad revenue might decrease. That's not only because of a new competing ad platform, but also because, since ChatGPT's NLP has a good understanding of context, it might be able to offer more accurate ad targeting that Google currently does.
That might open up a firehose of new revenue for OpenAI, thus funding development, expansion, and evolution.

To bad it is also Woke.

Is using a search engine hard?

I know the difference.

Great insight and possibility.

This was written by ChatGPT?
