Hey Everyone,
I’ve been waiting for this moment for many many months.
(?—??For a limited time get a Yearly sub for just $5 a month?— ?).
We live in interesting times. They finally did it, OpenAI has released a Search product. Well, kinda. In this article we are going to analyze all things Search in the era of Generative AI. There’s more to unpack than one would assume.
Two years after ChatGPT went live, OpenAI have 250 million weekly active users, and 75% of their revenue comes from paid consumers of ChatGPT. So no wonder they put their SearchGPT prototype into ChatGPT with ChatGPT Search, a big new announcement late last week.
If you are like me, two years later, you likely use Google for search a lot less due to ChatGPT and Perplexity. However Google is also using Generative AI to boost Ad sales in Google’s Search Ad’s dominance, with Google Cloud and Search revenue booming while BigTech will spend around $200 Billion in capex in 2024, mostly due to investments in AI related infrastructure.

OpenAI, Nvidia, Anthropic and Perplexity - in a League of their Own
With OpenAI’s CFO talking about PhD capabilities (listen to the 14 minute interview here) of their AI technology, you really have to wonder. Two years after ChatGPT went live, Nvidia has now captured 92% of the data center, (AI chip) GPU market, according to market researcher IoT Analytics. If you didn’t know who Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic or Perplexity were before, you likely do now - because these are the four horsemen of the Generative AI revolution.
From a massive list of AI tools, winners are starting to emerge and dominate how consumers are adopting Generative AI. These tools are so powerful, minor AI tools and products are usually not needed. It’s somewhat a numbers game here of scale. OpenAI love them or hate them have scale.
ChatGPT Search ??
OpenAI’s search is now embedded within ChatGPT, and could be a significant feature that begins to disrupt Google, just based on the volume they will handle with their growing user base.
ChatGPT search is available to all ChatGPT Plus and Team users, as well as SearchGPT waitlist users, and will be available to ChatGPT Edu and Enterprise users in the coming weeks.
Whether you believe Generative AI is just another Silicon Valley hype bubble, OpenAI have managed to achieve scale in just two years. The nearly $15 billion they received from Microsoft enabled them to build an AI monopoly in chatbots, that gives them a huge advantage when it comes to agents and improved Search capabilities.
ChatGPT can now search the web in a much better way than before so you get fast, timely answers with links to relevant web sources.

4 个月Thanks Michael. How does this new ChatGpt "with search" feature compare to Copilot in the free Bing app? Copilot already returns web links.

4 个月A tremendously useful article; every CEO needs to at least "get across" these developments and how they impact sales, marketing, customer service, IT and other areas. "Transform with AI or die" may become a catch-phrase?
