TLDR:
- Tech companies are investing in generative AI to transform how we find information online.
- Generative AI tools, such as SearchGPT, are being developed by companies like OpenAI, Perplexity, and Google.
Generative AI tools like SearchGPT are being developed by tech companies to revolutionize online information retrieval. These tools aim to replace traditional search engines by synthesizing knowledge into interactive formats. Companies like OpenAI, Perplexity, and Google are currently engaged in a fierce competition to dominate the generative AI search war. Media partnerships have been signed to support these projects, where compensation is given to media companies for allowing their content to be used by generative AI tools. However, there are concerns about how these tools are trained on copyrighted material without consent and their potential to present false information to users. The future of search bots may also be impacted by recent copyright lawsuits against generative AI companies.
