There’s a belief that we’re ditching web search for chatbots to find news, information and products. The truth is more complicated.

OpenAI has closed the $6.5 billion deal to buy Jony Ive’s startup, io Products, practically confirming the ChatGPT hardware is happening.

First, it’s worth understanding what each tool is really for. “No, ChatGPT won’t fully replace Google because they solve fundamentally different information problems,” says Rohan Sarin, a former product lead at Google and Microsoft, now at AI voice-to-text company Speechmatics.

In a series of pointed X posts, Cloudflare’s CEO Matthew Prince lays out a bold new policy that treats AI companies like unwelcome guests and hints that even Google might be forced to play by his rules.

OpenAI has been testing a new ChatGPT Study Together mode in recent weeks, with some Plus users seeing the new model in the app.

Trust is eroding as search results increasingly feel generic or suspicious. Even basic questions now return shallow answers that leave users more confused than informed. Human creators are also paying the price. Valuable, original content from real writers often gets buried beneath a flood of AI-generated filler.

ChatGPT can be dangerous to use in place of a therapist, but people are finding ways it supplements therapy and helps them live better lives.

AI is everywhere. From the massive popularity of ChatGPT to Google cramming AI summaries at the top of its search results, AI is completely taking over the internet. With AI, you can get instant answers to pretty much any question. It can feel like talking to someone who has a Ph.D. in everything.

Artificial intelligence powerhouse OpenAI will likely add advertising to ChatGPT, a move that would pressure Google stock, say analysts.
