I have turned bearish on Perplexity recently, this confirms it
It's clear as to where Perplexity is eventually is going, and it will likely get acquired by Amazon. Here's why: [0]

#22How long until advertisements are subtly introduced? I didn’t notice any specific brand of limoncello recommended in their demo.
I hope very quickly. The sooner they start competing with Google for ads the better.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#23"Introducing" without actually just linking the search page.
That's not an introduction, that's a teaser trailer.
If they want this to be a viable search it needs to be available quickly, and anonymously from something quick to type in.
Google would have been annoying as shit if you had to go to google.com/search , let alone then log in.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#24Is there any indication they're willing to improve on google in terms of e.g. excluding commercial results? If not it's not clear how this improves anything. Google has been excellent at semantic search for a long time; the issue has been the lack of controls to filter out the SEO bullshit and to remove the AI stuff from the top and the right of the results. It's been way too easy to game search with sufficient funding for well over a decade now and the AI-generated crap is a long way from production-ready (in terms of quality; obviously it generates something).

#25It will be fun to see how they stand up to Google and Perplexity. I feel they are a bit late in the search game, but excited to see what they cook
I have learned to seriously question my instincts on when something is too late as there are many niches to fill and this is likely a building block for broader functionality.
That being said, for all the talk about how bad google has become, I still prefer it to an unbroken bing.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#26Hah, OpenAI is becoming an ads business too. So much for something new, same old funding model for every centralized platform on the web.
OpenAI has ads? I thought it was mostly a freemium business model.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#27AKA Bing Search in ChatGPT. So it is not it's own search engine and is still using Bing for its results just like the rest of them.
Is it mentioned on that page? Didn't see it.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#28Could OpenAI make it impossible for startups to try to build AI search engines by signing all these paid agreements with publishers?

#29I made one very similar it's basically a wrapper around duckduckgo https://foxacid.ai
