OpenAI Speculated to Launch its Own Web Search Service to Compete with Google
Google, the leading force in search engine technology, may face tough competition from OpenAI as the company is rumored to be working on its own web search product, according to Gizmodo. Though the news should be taken with a pinch of salt, as it is based on unnamed sources, the report suggests that OpenAI’s new service will be powered in part by Microsoft’s search engine, Bing.
Microsoft, which is OpenAI’s biggest investor, having invested $10 billion into the platform last year, has already integrated OpenAI’s AI technology into Bing. This move could potentially put OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, into direct competition with Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini.
Google has been rolling out Gemini across all of its products, but according to TechCrunch, the increased use of **ChatGPT** resulted in a drop in Google’s search revenue in Alphabet’s quarterly earnings report. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai expressed confidence in the future of Gemini, hinting at even greater capabilities to come.
However, Microsoft’s AI Bing chat encountered some issues when strange, unrelated responses were generated in chats. As a result, Microsoft limited the length of responses. While Gemini seems to have more advanced capabilities than Bing, it still faces strong competition from OpenAI’s most advanced model, **GPT-4 Turbo**.
The report did not provide a specific timeline for the launch of OpenAI’s new search engine. For now, tech enthusiasts can stay updated on the latest AI news while keeping an eye on the developments from OpenAI.
