Can chatGPT replace Google – Can chatGPT kill Google?

Tram Ho

Recently, chatGPT has become a hot topic of discussion in the technology world, many people even think that this AI chat tool will kick hundreds of thousands or even millions of Developers to the street. But not stopping there, chatGPT is even “heavy” to the extent that it is no different from a search engine, and with the endless development of artificial intelligence (AI), can it usurp Google or not? no or just a deified tool?

1. What is chatGPT?

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot tool created by artificial intelligence research company OpenAI , based on prototype dialogues to understand natural language and respond in natural language (like two humans talking face-to-face. communication) with unlimited scope and information exchange.

OpenAI, a nonprofit company founded by Elon Musk and Sam Altman, among others, has published the latest version of its chatbot, ChatGPT, powered by the largest transformer-language model ever. assembled, GPT-3.5, with over 175 billion parameters.

 

ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT-3 language model that has been optimized for conversational text. Since chatGPT is a variant of GPT-3, it has a large, powerful language model that has been trained on large amounts of text data. ChatGPT is capable of understanding and responding to a wide variety of inputs, and can provide helpful and informative answers to many questions.

For example, if you want to write a Hello World program in C++, enter the input (you can also call it a chat box): “Write a Hello World program in C++” and Figure 1 below is the result.

chatGPT will guide you step by step as if it considers you a dumb chick. Detailed step-by-step explanation, giving the line of code that meets the requirements, is very complete and also very verbose. Above I use Vietnamese, you can use English to “chat” with chatGPT. You can also ask it to “code” somewhat complex functions, for example, create a login page, register with ReactJS, for example, you will be amazed.

 

You can also ask non-programming related questions, like the example below

Oh, it’s really, really powerful, and it’s hitting Internet search, Google’s golden egg.

2. The end of Google Search and SEO?

First of all, unlike Google Search, ChatGPT frees you from having to click “endless” through linked pages and gives you short and direct feedback, instantly and always. This may lead people to prefer using these AI chat systems instead of searching through Google. If this scenario happens, Google’s ad revenue could drop significantly, putting Google at risk. But, Google is not the only victim.

Thousands of marketing agencies rely on their SEO expertise, their ability to help their clients “be seen” on Google. This sudden shift in customer journeys to using AI instead of Google can be devastating for them.

Search Engine Optimization – Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of increasing the quality and traffic of a website by increasing the visibility of a website or webpage to users on data search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo,… (wikipedia)

So let’s see how impressive ChatGPT is, and considering that a newer version of the underlying AI model, GPT-4, will be released early next year…

3. There are things that chatGPT can’t do.

As a language model, ChatGPT does not have the ability to perform actions or perform tasks. It is purely a tool for generating text and it does not have any inherent capabilities other than the ability to produce human-like responses to text input.

Also, because it’s a large, pre-trained model, ChatGPT can’t learn or adapt to new information beyond what it was trained to do. This means it may not provide accurate or up-to-date answers to questions about current events or rapidly changing topics. Finally, since it is a language model, it is not capable of browsing the internet or accessing external information, so it is limited to using the information it was trained to use to generate responses. It should be emphasized that ChatGPT was trained using data from 2021 or earlier and does not have access to details from 2022. Furthermore, ChatGPT does not have the ability to generate images and respond to requests. voice guidance.

3. ChatGPT can replace Google?

I will have a specific example as follows: “Write react native program for login page”.

Google Search results:

Figure 3: Search on Google search engine

Google Search returns 54.3 million results to be able to help you create a login page, want to know more we have to click on each website according to the results that Google has suggested. What about chatGPT?

Figure 4: chatGPT code “helps” us

 

It’s really beyond imagination, we just have to sit and look at it’s code and have a complete program, lazy, we can copy and paste it into our project. ChatGPT immediately displays the results we need, intuitive, fast and easy to understand because after coding it also explains in detail.

Or here is another example

Wondering how to try chatGPT and this is the answer

Figure 7: Asking directly chatGPT if it can replace Google or not

A few examples above show the superiority and convenience of chatGPT slightly over Google search engine. However, the future of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT is uncertain. While this tool can provide quick, helpful answers to some questions, it is not yet capable of completely replacing search engines like Google for all use cases or we can say that ChatGPT will replace Google Search. However, as these models continue to evolve and improve, they may become more capable and can provide answers to more complex questions. It is likely that progress on these models will accelerate in the coming years.

4. Will Google Search still be the number one search engine in the future?

Despite the overwhelming power of chatGPT and AI, I don’t feel that Google’s reign as the world’s most powerful search engine is currently at stake.

Even so, I still strongly believe that the future of search engines will be AI-led, so even though today’s AI models are limited and dangerous for mass use, ChatGPT is sure to certainly showed us a very promising future.

Luckily for Google, it has its own big language model, LaMDa, and has certainly taken note of what LLM is trained by OpenAI.

Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDa), is a family of conversational neurolinguistic models developed by Google. (wikipedia)

However, all of this demonstrates how AI will turn the tech industry upside down. Not just for you and me, but for the world’s tech giants, and even all of humanity in the future.

5. Conclusion

ChatGPT is a powerful search engine and programming support, but to be able to completely replace Google Search is probably too early, it can happen in 10 or 15 years, it’s hard to say. . And with a company like Google, with the super-massive data set it has built over the past 20 years, it’s not easy for Google Search to be outdone so easily.

In the near future I will have articles on the topic of chatGPT, interesting researches about this type of tool and answer the question of whether chatGPT will kick the devs to the chicken coop or not!
