#53ChatGPT has already largely replaced Google Search in many of the cases I have. I no longer rely on Google to do basic research, it feels so out of date and clunky compared to just getting an answer to your question. No looking through multiple pages and clicking through to web sites with ads and paywalls and trying to piece together an opinion from multiple sources.
ChatGPT just works, and it works quickly, and its usually right, and is a better user experience than Google Search in every way. I hope OpenAI comes out with an AI mail client so I can finally ditch Google completely.

#54People with websites used to have a clear reason to allow bots to crawl and index our sites. Google and everyone sent us traffic. There was something of a trade off. Google has been slowly changing that trade by displaying more and more of our sites on google.com rather than sending people our way. As far as I can see there's no sending people away from SearchGPT, it just gives answers. I can't see any reason to allo…
So you get the information out to people without even having to serve traffic? Sounds like a win? At the end of the day, if they want to book/buy anything they’ll have to go to your site

#55I really dislike this as OpenAI has spent the past months signing sweetheart deals with any publisher willing to sell their content for training data. It ties everything to their platform and returns a regurgitation of prioritized content without indicating any sort of sponsorship. SEO will be replaced by cold hard cash, favors, and backroom deals
>SEO will be replaced by cold hard cash, favors, and backroom deals Maybe it's my pessimistic nature, but it's garbage either way to me - backroom deals in your scenario, or the SEO-gameified garbage we currently have.
Cold hard cash, favors, and backroom deals have been the modus operandi of this leadership team for over a decade now, it's the only song they know.

#56Announcing a waitlist! :) Signed up either way, but really wish OpenAI announcements were for usable products.
It seems all their recent major have been waitlists: sora, the voice model, now this

#57So, Google already does this, right? And most of the feedback I've seen is: "how the hell do we turn this off".
Microsoft does it. In fact they came up with Bing integration before GPT-4 release, although UI is a bit different.
Kinda hilarious that nobody remembers...

OpenAI isn't going to beat Google at the search game any time soon, and yeah Google's AI results have mixed popularity now. Doesn't seem like the best use of OpenAI's focus to me.

#59Where is GPT-5? Imo these “announcements” from OpenAI are a further sign that model capability has plateaued with GPT-4.
It's not supposed to be out until 2025.

as long as sama is running things we'll be seeing this. he's trying to grow as large as possible, for more leverage.
