Man I really wish I could share my take on this ChatGPT replacing Google Search narrative.

I've worked in Google Search for 8 years so I'm clearly biased but also well informed.

Nevertheless, I'll share that I'm personally very excited for our AI powered present and future.

In Search, correctness, trust and transparency is key. The challenge with LLM is that the answers always seem plausible but aren't necessarily correct.

I see LLM as a very powerful tool but it should be informed by many other factors. Also, the world is changing rapidly so it's imperative to keep it up to date.

There will be definitely specific vectors where it is really good at and we'll hyper specialize it for those use cases.

The cool thing about ChatGPT is the UX it provides. I find it more natural to use than something like Lex.page and in some cases Github Copilot.

Can you share your take at a high level? ChatGPT is impressive for sure but I'm not sure if it feels authoritative enough to meet my information needs. Maybe it doesn't matter much to the newer generation? I wonder if the novelty effect wears off a bit over time and use becomes hyper specialized, sort of like Dalle?

I'm generally bearish on ChatGPT in the near term but long term the various tools like this are clearly going to change the way the knowledge economy works.
