ChatGPT as a search engine: is the text AI sawing into Google’s monopoly?

Probably never before has an AI application caused as much fuss as ChatGPT. After only five days, the chatbot already had a million users, which Instagram, Twitter or Facebook had taken several months to do. For Rowan Curran, an analyst at technology consultancy Forrester, this is the “iPhone moment for AI,” and many other observers also believe that ChatGPT and similar AI models will have a huge impact over the next decade. “What robots were for industrial manufacturing, AI is for information workers,” says Scott Galloway, a professor at New York University.
