Microsoft has wasted their opportunity.

When ChatGPT first came out, Satya and Microsoft were seen as visionaries for their wisdom in investing in Open AI. Then competitors caught up while Microsoft stood still. Their integration with ChatGPT produced poor results [1] reminding people of Tay [2]. Bing failed to capitalize on AI, while Proclarity showed what an AI-powered search engine should really look like. Copilot failed to live up to its promise. Then Claude.ai, Gemini 2.0 caught up with or exceeded ChatGPT, and Microsoft still doesn't have their own model.

I'll add, that Google search AI integration is quite good. I'm actually amazed how well it works, given the scale of Google Search. Nowadays I don't click search results in 50% of searches, because Google AI outputs response good enough for me.

Maybe we have a different Google AI down here in south Texas, but the Google search AI results I receive are laughably bad.

It has made up tags for cli functions, suggested nonexistent functions with usage instructions, it’s given me operations in the wrong order, and my personal favorite it gave me a code example in the wrong language (think replying Visual Basic for C).

Its about half and half. Really depends on whether there are good results that gemini can summarize. If not, it gets creative. Chatgpt is generally much better.

ChatGPT is better, but Google owns all of the panes of glass (for now).

We've never seen a "Dog Pile vs Yahoo" battle when the giants are of this scale.

It'll be interesting to see if Google can catch up with ChatGPT (seems likely) and if they simply win by default because they're in all of the places (also seems likely). It'd be pretty wild for ChatGPT to win, honestly.

People are forming deep personal attachments to it. They think all their chat history is in context and Act as if it knows them personally and has formed an opinion about them. They are replacing social interaction with it. I doubt someone in that deep would want to switch to something new very easily.

I doubt that's a very high percentage of users. Most people use it as a productivity-boosting tool like search engine.

It's a spectrum.

A lot of people who are unfamiliar with how the technology works talk about "my GPT". Google that phrase, or start watching for it to crop up in conversation.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are lots of tiny little pockets like this:

I think a bigger issue is people just believing all the stuff that AI tells them, without bothering to check it.
