This week ChatGPT announced that the gloves are off and it will be competing with Google on web search . Over the past two decades, this has been the tech equivalent of opening up a ground war in Asia or tilting at windmills, but there is some recent precedent: Perplexity.ai has been doing the same thing since November of 2022.World Series MVP - winner: ChatGPT
ChatGPT, on the other hand, understands perfectly what I want and provides a quick and short—and correct—answer, along with a source for more information:This is a much more complex query with a much more complex answer. Both Google and ChatGPT do fairly well, but the difference is that ChatGPT wants to supply an answer, whereas Google wants—at least in this case—to feed you matching web results.
Both answered instantly and well: they're playing the NY Islanders at home tomorrow. Interestingly, Google translated the Easter time to 10AM for me on the west coast; ChatGPT merely said it was a 1PM ET.At a conference I recently received a coupon for a free pair of pants at a local brand’s store, so I asked both Google and ChatGPT: “where is DU/ER in Vancouver?”
ChatGPT gave me a weather forecast for what my IP address appears to reveal as my location: Kamloops, BC. Unfortunately, that’s 220 miles or 354 kilometers away.To get that distance above I googled and ChatGPT’d for the data. Both responded correctly and identically with the driving distance between the two cities.
ChatGPT gave me a wonderful list historical landmarks, cultural experiences, scenic views, culinary delights, modern attractions, and nearby day trips that—as someone who has been to Lisbon five or six times, all rings true. I haven’t yet been to Jerónimos Monastery, though, so maybe that’s a go for this coming trip.Given that I’ve been searching the web all day, I asked both Google and ChatGPT what is the best search engine on the planet.
