A Look into the Future: How Bing's AI Integration is Changing Search

It seems that Microsoft's Bing search engine and openAI in the form of chatGPT would be one in the future, how it will work seems that no one knows yet but some form of incorporation in the search engine will be.

The question is how that will affect our way of using the internet in the future.

Now there is communication in blogs, newsletters, and so on. Interaction between humans. 

But how will this change when we don't have to do so when the answers will be AI controlled and probably correct but not from a human?

What would we become?

I have also been seduced by chatGPT too, and the possibilities it gives me.

But also can I go to a search engine and search around for other views on a subject. 

I know, sometimes even those are made with an AI tool but not always.

Anyway, do I have a possibility to get another point of view, sometimes made by a human.

I still have, with some restrictions, free will.

If the search engine is an artificial tool, what possibilities do I have for another point of view?

Okay, I know search engines are already in a way controlled by algorithms, and the results on the first pages are controlled by those. But there are mostly people behind the results.

If all the answers are artificial, where does the communication go?

When I was a child before search engines, I remembered how long the discussions could become. There were sometimes wrong and hard arguing, with friends becoming enemies, but sometimes the opposite with a happy ending.

Occasionally you had to go to a library, a newspaper, or another source, a friend perhaps, to find facts for further discussion the next time there was a meeting.

That died with Google, you got almost an immediate answer, you just had to Google it, perhaps you had to find a computer first. The answer was there, easy to find.

Then when everyone got a smartphone, finding a computer wasn't a problem any longer, you could find the answer at once.

The discussion died.

Who could argue with Google?

Still, there were sources with sometimes discussable answers but the discussion often ended after Googling, but we could even choose the discussable sources if we wanted to.

How will it be now, when the answers would be collected from several sources and we don't have to make our own choice, AI does that for us.

Isn't that a strange future?

We don't know how the search engine will be when openAI is involved, so perhaps, or rather hopefully, they let us still have the opportunity to choose how we should use the search engine. With or without AI.

Most people have, from what I understand, used Google for their search until now.

How will the future be for Google, will they lose their audience?

I don't know so much about how search engines work, but I guess they use each other to find search results in one way or the other.

After some research, and googling, I found that search results from Google, Bing, and other search engines are not shared. 

The algorithms and indexing technologies used by each search engine are unique. They might employ some similar methods, but they also have their techniques for compiling and examining data regarding the web pages they index.

So Bing would perhaps steal all the audience from Google in the future, those who live will see.

This is hopefully only a dark vision of how the future could be, but some will be losers, that's for sure.

Those who make their living on making webpages?

Bloggers with special skills?

Companies with certain knowledge?

Only the future will tell us.
