“This is a moment of significant vulnerability for Google ,” said D. Sivakumar, a former research director at the company, in statements to The New York Times . Ultimately, ChatGPT could plant the seeds of an entirely new and more engaging search experience for the user, emphasizes Sivakumar.
A tech titan like Google is in any case in a position to develop tools similar to ChatGPT in a relatively short period of time, but it is not doing so because it has much to lose reputationally if its alternative to OpenAI's program is riddled with inaccuracies.
While a company like OpenAI can afford to have ChatGPT prone to errors, giants like Google (and also Meta) cannot afford such a "faux pas" because no missteps are expected from them due to their maturity and years of experience in the "techie" field.
Microsoft, for its part, has jumped on the generative AI bandwagon early and well without norway number data taking any risks (if anything a few billion dollars). If ChatGPT goes wrong, the blame will fall on OpenAI and not on Microsoft, which has simply limited itself to pumping money into the hype of the moment.
Microsoft also has to take credit for its (apparently successful) bet on ChatGPT.which Meta has entrusted its own future, ChatGPT is such a useful and accessible tool that it can be used by virtually everyone for a plethora of everyday applications, Jacobsen concludes.
