    ChatGPT Search Made Me Quit Google for Good

    It’s Not Perfect, but ChatGPT Search is Now My Default Way to Find Information

    he most obvious question when OpenAI officially announced in July that it was launching a search engine was whether it would pose an existential threat to Google. At the time, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, wrote on X that “We think there is room to make search much better than it is today.” That sentiment is hard to argue with. Google might be the best search engine, but I don’t know anyone who thinks Google is a great overall experience.

    ChatGPT is the most searched AI tool by far, but number two is surprising

    A New Study Looks at the AI Tools People Are Searching For

    Just last month, a study showed that — no surprise — ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool, at least in terms of app downloads. What was surprising about that research was that some other giant names in the AI business were absent, including Google’s Gemini.

    Now, a new study from creative subscription service Superside has also dived into this topic. However, instead of focusing on app downloads, the study considers the number of searches people make for a particular AI. This research provides a strong sense of the AIs people might be interested in, but are not necessarily using.
