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

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.
Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
WindyRebel@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.

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.
NeptuneOrbit@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Hopefully new competitors on the market will all have to try their best before they start being shitty.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Begun, the AI wars have.
stellargmite@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Info enshittification can mean only one thing: full scale invasion. Apparently
Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 months ago
So all the AI enshittification of Google results was just 4D chess all along!
DogWater@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Wym?
Open ai is “owned” by Microsoft so no, google are just shooting themselves in the foot with shitty search results
Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’ll herd users to the new product. It’s like when reddit enshittified its mobile web page to move folks to its app. Both reddit; but they shot themselves in one foot to shift weight over to the other foot.

Top execs got fat off firing people and offshoring while new marker participant obtained what appears to a lead in their core business lol
Let's see how this plays out.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Hmm.
Interesting idea. I mean, if you are a corporate competitor, why not? Especially if you injected the static into the blood stream.

Sticking with duck duck go. Not seeing advertising, news or video recommendations based on a one time search in Google is bliss.
Fuzzypyro@lemmy.world 6 months ago
But duck duck go has ads… They are just as search results. My Pihole will actively block access to those links because they are promoted content. They also have a little “ad” tag alongside the post.

i try từ use it but there’s a bunch of shit I can’t find and I have to switch to Google
KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Just what I need, another useless search engine.
Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Correction: An even more useless search engine.
Kuvwert@lemm.ee 6 months ago
How do we know that its useless? Is there a beta link you guys are trying?
KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I am honestly a little confused, what are they trying to bring to the table that isn’t covered by Bing Chat AI already?

Having weird duplicate products is not unusual at Microsoft. It probably would have been better for everyone, including shareholders, if they’d been broken up or spun off divisions as they grew.
yildolw@lemmy.world 6 months ago
If they had spun off Windows and Office into independent companies, Windows would have made a competing office suite and Office would have made a competing OS
Jordan117@lemmy.world 6 months ago
If it is just a repackaging of ChatGPT’s existing “search the web” function, I don’t know why they’d bother. It can at best summarize a page of search results for a very literal-minded query, and even then it’s often lobotomized by the fact that OpenAI has made it easy for a large number of top websites to opt out of having their pages accessible to their search crawler, which means you’re only getting a summary of the search result snippet and metadata. A competent user of Google search can run rings around it in terms of research, even with Google’s decline in quality. I guess it makes it faster to answer basic queries for recent information not in the training data, but that hardly seems worthy of a big event.
Etterra@lemmy.world 6 months ago
If it’s using AI then it’ll suck just as much as friggin Google.
avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Is this going to be the mule produced be breeding OpenAI with the Bing team?
stellargmite@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I can hear it braying from way down the road, dropping steaming loads of marketing as it comes to stink up the place kicking children in their teeth, all while making billions from it in the process. Heee hawwww .
esc27@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They need to focus back on the base product instead of adding more features. It has been over 1 year and chatgpt using gpt4 is still crippled to the point of being useless.
The last thing I want is a search engine that works 10 times then tells me to come back in 4 hours to resume searching…
dutchkimble@lemy.lol 6 months ago
So, they’re announcing that they’re going to announce something?

Ok but this is hilarious lol
chakan2@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I thought it was a really good representation of the OpenAI search engine.

Good bot

I guess it’s better than … “On your knees meatbag”
Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Did the bot read a pay wall or is it an accurate summary?

I’m pretty sure the original article had more than three words mate . Also good. not .
