They’ve probably got enough machine learning to take keywords and figure out intent. That’s essentially what Google does with autocomplete. They use n-grams. So I expect OpenAI already has this all figured out.

i really don’t want anything that further obfuscates the experience of me typing in a word and it showing me pages with that word. and i don’t know why i’d want to type a full ass sentence in natural english versus just keywords

What would open AI offer that Google aren’t doing? I feel like they keep fixing something that wasn’t broken and now they can’t go back to the old good search engine.

Well, they could potentially pull from various sources to make a cohesive answer. Right now Google’s SGE (search generative experience, their AI in organic search) pulls one source to answer and then offers some other links that also answer the same question.

Hopefully new competitors on the market will all have to try their best before they start being shitty.

You don’t type questions into search engines? I’ve been doing that for well over a decade and it helps find others asking the same thing.

I find that I have to do that now, because it seems the internet has been geared towards people that think you have to ask the computer a question instead of searching for key words like how it used to work.
I find it more difficult now because often the search results are what the search engine thinks I want, instead of what I actually asked for.

I mean, this is what we see/read in sci-fi series and movies at least since the 60’s.

And I prefer it the other way.
