#12Google won't die, Android is hard tied to Google.
In terms of desktop search, Microsoft is going to have to sort out all the bugs to build trust.

#13For the vast majority of people in the world Bard is, at the moment, superior. ChatGPT's responses are TOO detailed, and it also has no clue about current events. Imagine how many people just search Google for what's going on in the world lately.

That said for technical folks, ChatGPT is much more useful.

Bard is terrible at parsing in my short time with it.
I asked if it could answer a riddle, and it responded by asking me riddles. When I said no, I'll ask the riddle, it asked me another one.

Die doesn’t matter - that takes decades maybe a century. Shrink/grow is the question.

#17When the new bing launched, I decided to switch from Firefox/Google to a predominately Edge/Bing flow. It it is mostly fine, The Edge browser is a good web browser. But Bing just doesn't display results in the right order, where as Google does. They still have the sauce. That being said, The progress that Bing is making is wonderful. Bing works great on granular searches though.
There are extensions that allow you to use bing chat from any browser! If you want to go back to firefox and use the chat you still can, just a heads up

For now. If Bing starts replacing all the search on android and touching android revenue, im sure Google will do the same thing that Apple did. Google literally lives and dies by their ads.

#19It doesn't have to kill Google. If it can force google to integrate expensive LLMs (compared to current search), it will impact search margins which is what all of Google depends on. If search stops printing money, it will have a drastic impact on Google, since Search subsidises tons of other not profitable ventures (even GCP is not profitable)
A company this size doesn't die easily though. Even IBM is still alive and making money.

That's a valuable point. Impact on margins is what I'm curious to see. Given the current rate of competition, I don't think we could ever see the current margins again for Google, how many ever years down the line.
I wonder if the market is discounting this point of view already.
