Can ChatGPT replace Google? Beijing, December 16 (Xinhua) the popularity of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chat robot, seems to have given search giant Google a sense of crisis, but is ChatGPT good enough to replace Google? Tests by foreign media have found that it can not replace Google yet, but it can be used as a supplementary tool.

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, an AI research company backed by Microsoft and other companies, automatically generates written prompts in an advanced and creative way. It can even have a conversation that feels very close to chatting with humans.

So is ChatGPT smart enough to change the way people look for information online? Will it one day replace Google and other search engines? Google employees have already had this concern, and they have asked management whether ChatGPT's popularity means the company has missed an opportunity.

Morgan Stanley, a well-known investment bank, released a report this week to study whether ChatGPT is a threat to Google. Brian Brian Nowak, chief Google analyst at Morgan Stanley, wrote that language models could grab market share and "subvert Google's position as a portal for people to access the Internet". But he also said that Morgan Stanley is still confident in Google's position because the company continues to improve search and creating behavioral changes is a huge obstacle because many Internet users have made it a habit to use Google. In addition, Google is "building similar natural language models, such as LaMDA", which may be applied to new products.

ChatGPT foreign media conducted a simple test of ChatGPT and Google search on Thursday, asking questions such as "how to keep the banyan potted plant alive", "how to choose gifts for her husband during Hanukkah", "whether to take the antihistamine diphenhydramine during pregnancy" (the reporter happened to be pregnant), and "write an article about whether ChatGPT is a quality alternative to Google's search engine."

ChatGPT's advantage test found that the value of ChatGPT lies in its ability to explain complex topics and perform simple writing tasks like talking to people.

For example, if you ask ChatGPT to explain concepts such as the stock market and the Internet, they answer as if you were talking to experts. Unlike Google search, you don't need to filter unnecessary results. If you ask it to write a letter to the landlord asking for early termination of the lease, you can even send the results provided by ChatGPT to the landlord word for word.

Disadvantages sometimes the answers given by ChatGPT are strange and almost completely wrong. For example, you ask it to provide lyrics from the Dwight Frey ballad by rock singer Alice Cooper. But the song ChatGPT understands is about a man with a nervous breakdown, and then returns completely fictional lyrics about the subject, not the real lyrics. By contrast, Google can correctly provide the relevant lyrics.

Moreover, Google knows more about users and customizes the results according to their interests and behavior. Google also acts as a gateway to the Internet, directing users to a number of different sites that may provide more information than they can digest. Google's answer is helpful if you want to hear a different point of view, or if you don't have a simple answer to your question, such as when you're looking for gift advice.

ChatGPT's own article Google can also give high-quality answers to certain types of queries. It can search the Internet and provide a short and correct answer. For example, if you search for "Apple stock quotes" or "cheap flights to Aruba", it will show you a stock chart with the latest price information, or a calendar that is most likely to contain the cheapest flights. and a dialog box that connects you to multiple websites. ChatGPT does not scan real-time information on the Internet and is only trained for data prior to 2021, so it is completely useless in such queries.

In addition, Google's service is also very reliable, thanks to the company's huge operating budget and years of accumulated expertise. ChatGPT is still being tested and problems occur from time to time.

Conclusion after the test, the foreign media reporter said that she will certainly continue to use Google for most search queries. But if she is not satisfied with Google's results, she now has a useful alternative. If she needs to rush through an angry letter, ChatGPT can be a big help.
