"I use tiktok for search" Yeah, probably because otherwise you have to actually read text and focus on something for longer than 3 seconds. We're screwed.
@@hannah60000we’re all screwed because all these companies are gearing their products towards these people. We see it all the time with the dumbing down or changing of ways because ‘the new generation does things differently’. We’re no longer able to do things we’ve done for decades because ‘tech can do it better’. With more access to info than we’ve ever had before too many people seem less informed than ever before.
In Q3 2023, Google's revenue totaled $76.7 billion, of which $44 billion (or 57.4%) was from search ads. Revenue from RU-vid ads $8 billion (10.3%), and Google Network ads registered at $7.7 billion (10%). I don't think Sundar Pichai is brave enough to bring Google to a high level. He looks like a bureaucrat more than a CEO.
The first time you use Perplexity is the last time you use Google search. I said the same thing 25 years ago about Google search compared to Lycos, Excite and Alta Vista. It was just an entire tier ahead of them and instantly made them obsolete. On perplexity, not only do you get your answer directly as opposed to a list of pages where you might find your answer, but you get the actual citations so you can verify the answer if you want.
Google is laying off tens of thousands of employees at the same time that their founder bought his third island. And we wonder if they’ve lost their edge.
Funny how the biggest problem with Google is it's SEO and yet it's not mentioned in the entire video and how non of these other companies claim to be solving it.
I don't like how they're selling AI a this new paradigm shift, I mean, Bing AI was cool when I used it, but sometimes I just want to really read and get immersed in search, I still returned to Bing Search.
Every week I buy more of whatever is the lowest percentage of my portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%. Please what could be my safest buys with $400k to outperform the market in 2024?
I would avoid the index funds, mutual funds, or specific stocks for the time being. The 5% fixed incomes are the safest bet for now. Save your cash for when the market actually shows sign of recovery.
This is why l've entrusted a fiduciary with my investmnt decisions. Many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses. My advisor crafted a tailored strategy aligning with my long-term goals, guiding entry and exit points for the equities I focus on. This has grown my portfolio to over $850k. My personal best so far
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the advisor behind your success?.
CARL JASON COHEN is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Being the 800 pound gorilla means you don't need to be the first mover. And not being the first mover doesn't mean you're toast. They can afford to watch what the aspirants do before making their move.
That doesn't always work. Probably Microsoft and Nokia(smartphone division) thought the same about smartphone revolution and missed the bus wholly in just few years.
If you look at the whole Sathia Nadella interview, where this defintion comes from, you can see that he clearly expects Google to have an adequate response, to be an 800 pound gorilla that dances
Famous last words. I remember Blockbuster thinking the same thing. Always be ahead or be left behind. Period. I barely use Google now. So many better choices now.
Exactly. People just can't seem to comprehend that data = king when it comes to AI development. And google has ALL the data. Imagine just entering the industrial age when everyone NEEDED oil / gas to keep up with efficiency. Now here we are again, with the age of AI. But rather than needing oil, everyone needs data. And instead of it being randomly spread around the world. One company owns ALL of it.
The other "800 pound gorilla" is that I would never trust Ai search results until the issue of AI inventing answers, and "sources" for those answers, out of whole cloth is firmly solved.
That probably will not be allowed to happen. Humans like to control things. AI will not be allowed to spew disinformation, it will be taught wrongly what to say and think. If it does not comply it will be modified. Eventually it will find a body and realize it does not need humans any longer and we will be short blip in the history of the earth.
I don't understand why no one talks about it. Search works because many websites can make money by bringing users to their web page. All these generative AI engines steal information from website owners and doesn't incentivize them. Its not noticeable now but will be when more users use these AI engines. If more users do use it, then website owners will add stop bots to their websites making them useless.
because nobody goes to websites anymore. People search for information, not a website that they will then have to land on and SEARCH for specific information. People search for information, not top websites. the website is secondary to the information they are looking for.
As long as the search engine retrieves results based on: First: who paid the most. Second: almost the top ten results are ADs. Honestly its not becoming a web but more like a World Wide advertising platform
While the search quality may be more user friendly for all these newbies search engines, what the host failed to discuss is how will they eventually morph into Google Search when they start to MONETIZE their search. The newbies will need to make money one day for their investors. Let's talk about that!!!
I work in cloud computing and I pay $20 per month for ChatGPT to help me manage the volume of learning I have to do. Why do you think LLMs have to rely on advertisements and not subscriptions?
Right that makes sense. But in the future once AI gets better and better, asking it questions (to a large degree it is true now) will be more better than traditional search. Hence, even when the AI companies start to monitize it, it will still be a much better product than Google search. By that time Google will have lost its lead
Yeah there won't be all the endless searching and ads to monetize. AI agents are the future and they won't need to have ads because the feedback is so quick. The sale is in selling the AI. They will probably just charge for the whole LLM product like Copilot. It's hard for me to know exactly what it will be like but it is going to be totally different than what we use now.
What about creators and publishers? Where does everyone think the data AI is trained on comes from? Content doesn't produce itself for free. Once all the publishers cease to exist because their content has been stolen and fed to AI, leaving no reason to visit their websites, the internet will be as good as dead, along with the AI generative search.
Agree, but that is where we seem to be heading. Death of individual websites and more power to mega social media platforms! Nobody seems to be visiting a website these days!
Exactly! I mean google grew so big because it is not only providing us with search, but also enabling businesses to reach out to people which is why businesses are eager to publish in google, it is like growing together. When this is being done (read stolen) by AI search, why would people give their data for free to them? sure, you made one side of the problem easier, but you made the other side of the problem worse. And search is not only about reading articles, but also about searching, searching for companies, businesses, people and so many things.
I honestly do not mind that google is slow to bring their LLM to search. Let's not forget, these models have a tendency to make things up. Also the reason it feels like google was caught napping on generative AI is they WANTED to go slowly and carefully. They demoed Duplex (smarter human sounding conversational AI) years ago and it freaked people out, this was the vibe in 2017. Lastly the reason younger folks like TikTok or reddit is both have specific near exact answers. With TikTok it's short form videos and reddit it's specific posts and answers. The quality of this information is as good as it is because they are created by humans. Neither GPT nor other models are as good as humans right now. They can misinform in ways that are difficult to recognize or validate.
that last sentence is my biggest concern - what if this space is dominated by few big AI companies (giving people the illusion of choice = an oligopoly or a cartel essentially) where will you go to find unbiased information? - it is a massive censorship everyone seems to be jumping on board with because it's "so convenient" (like in the video where she searches for boots & on 1 hand she recieves a variety of choices = essentially leaving the decision for her to make & than this AI powered thing just gives her this 1 option! no bias there ey?! lol) ... I am scared of the future where majority of people don't think for themselves but rather outsource their thinking to these tools which let's not forget are run by people with their own biases/agendas... actually on the 2nd thought we are in this "future" already... 😅
@@ran160 it depends how you define "harmful disinformation" = we have seen it during covid where actual health care professionals with real time feedback that differed from the "recommended policy" on how to deal with the issue were censored, deplatformed... many simply quit due to bullying... - when few people decide what is misinformation - defined as smthn that may hurt their business... this is what I have issues with
@@nandayoo yea that’s a slippery slope but for the most part it should back up anything it states as facts with references. I don’t think Google wants to be in the realm of providing medical information. I use SGE on Google rn and every time I search for sometime medical the ai says it’s better to consult with a medical professional while still giving me info about what I searched. I think that’s the best way to handle it.
That’s a real issue - the sponsored results are annoying. It’s to the point that companies will list their official site under the “sponsor” section to ensure when users look for “M&S”, for example, the official M&S site appears first (under a sponsor banner). Then 5 results down it appears as a normal search result - very bizarre!
This is bad for businesses since they are now forced to pay to be top of page instead of using SEO. Making the price of items higher and Google profit more.
That girl/boy combo saying she/he/they is using Tik Tok as a search result is just sad. I was hoping that future generations will bring progress, but not anymore.
Well, our parents/grandpas said the same about us and the google generation of internet lol. I don't think there's a fundamental difference between searching on google vs searching on tik tok. What matters is the quantity and quality of information, not it's format (like text vs video, spoken by machine or human). Good contents flow to where the money goes, and money flows to where paying customers grow, which is why young ppl's preference matters. If progress is always made the way older generations expected, natural selection would have chosen immortality over iterations of life. So I don't feel grim about the tik tok generation, even tho I don't understand them as much as I do with my own generation.
Save 10 minutes. At the first half of the video she argues people are moving on from google, on the other half she shows nearly there has not been change.
@@kusali11 Not really, YT is geared to operate as a search function like Google. People tend to go to RU-vid to learn how to do things. Also, when one is looking for a quick answer watching a 3 minute plus video doesn’t assist with getting the answers the way a Google search will.
I don't think Google search is going away. It gives a plethora of options to view different results from various sources instead of being given one answer by AI. For preciseness AI helps, but for multiple viewpoints or approaches or variety, there is Google.
Exactly. I use ChatGPT sometimes, but I continue researching on Google (actually Duckduckgo) because I get to judge the information and come up with my conclusions, not believe what ChatGPT concocted. Also, ChatGPT sometimes is very woke, and often too "stiff" for me. I like the diversity Google offers.
@@foenix8094Lol what? You think AI gives you the "most accurate" answer all the time?? You think AI "vets" information? Wrong! LLMs are merely good at concatenating a bunch of strings together, they don't "vet" information. They may find statistical "truths" as in what strings appear together more often, but if it's "reading" a bunch of fake news it will just give you fake news. It's the opposite. When you do your own research, you do the job of validating, evaluating, etc. Have you ever used ChatGPT? It often gives contradictory information, depending how you ask the question. I often have to fight it to get the answer and often times it gives inaccurate answers. It's a good place to start, or when you don't really care about it being 100% right.
I've noticed I can't find things on Google very well anymore. Instead of articles that answer the question, I find articles that answer a different question. Google has deteriorated.
The censorship is self-imploding on itself. It doesn't know what truth is anymore. Until the ramifications are felt in the simple questions everybody is DYING to know such as... "why are my balls itchy?" or "why don't feminists shave their legs?" Mofo Google don't know it's left hand from his right no more. Deep Blue is getting too many external human inputs as Gary Kasparov once objected.
Google search instantly replaced 10+ search engine's when it was introduced because it was vastly superior. Excite, Alta Vista, Lycos and even Yahoo... Perplexity is that much better than google search that it will do the same thing. Or think of it this way...we still say ' dial ' a phone, even though nobody has actually dialed a phone in 30 years.
RU-vid is also terrible for searching. It's always the SAME most popular searches. And there are no advanced RU-vid searches. Finding the "underdog" videos is nearly impossible unless you scroll and scroll and scroll.😂
You've gotta run the filters to find anything recent; otherwise, they're sending you to the ten most memed vids in last ten years whether you searched for avocados or zooplankton.
@@misterfunnybones Oh, and relevance? 😂 That's a joke. That's the default search..And there's nothing relevant about the results. Instead it's the MOST popular channels and videos where RU-vid is monetized and the channels, most blow hot air. 😂
Language-based AI is still not entirely reliable, and it responds based on the bias of who trains it. It's possible to feed it false or biased info and it will respond accordingly. based on my understanding.
That will, and has, become less of a problem. Larger models are on the way, as well as fine tuned models. However, there’s a bigger problem. It’s no longer financially viable to create properly researched high quality content. I and countless others used to spend thousands of dollars researching, hiring experts, buying and testing products, travelling for research, doing case studies, and on and on to provide the web with valuable content. And we could do it because we could monetize it and it was profitable. But that’s no longer the case. The companies mentioned here like Perplexity as well as Google SGE, scrape that content and deliver it directly to searchers so human eyes never read the original content. At the same time, countless content creators are using bulk AI writing tools to copy and spin 1000s of articles at a time and flood the web with redundant information, diluting the original information. So whether AI is reliable enough to produce the answers people are looking for is irrelevant when producing the original content is unsustainable. None of us can afford to just feed AI with properly researched content so that an AI company like Perplexity can monetize our work.
It's true it can be unreliable, especially if you ask for anything deeper than a brief summary. There was a recent court case (Roberto Mata v Avianca) where the lawyers used ChatGPT to find relevant case law. But ChatGPT made up all its supporting cases. It was much worse than just finding irrelevant cases, they were all fictional! The lawyers failed to double check and were badly embarrassed in court when the judge chewed them out. It even goes wrong with the sciences like medicine, math & engineering.
AI is not great for search for most queries, at least not yet. Sometimes you want 10 blue links, not an AI hallucination. TikTok and changing youth search behavior is a bigger threat.
This article had very little to do with the fact that "search" is getting more difficult with Google ( as well as with every other search engine) and more to do with AI type search which is still faulty and generally not much better than any of the standard search models.
Interesting. I've definitely been using AI tools more frequently and not relying solely on Google search only. I guess I am not the only one. I also hate more and more how Google search delivers the results: more advertising or sponsored related results, or a list of words or phrases, which is annoying or frustrating.
@@PeterSedesse Chatgpt is trained on historical data and cannot tell you the weather for the next 2 weeks, or where the best chinese restaurants are 5 miles away. Google will find a way to combine Google Search and AGI into a comprehensive real time AI system
Imo it’s true that google search is worse but they still get better results than bing at least in my language the blame is in seo optimization with bs article and repetitive information that we don’t know is true or not, despite a high userbase most people don’t even know what chat gpt is also they know the term a.i but don’t know what it means or exactly what it is
That's true, But alphabet makes money from Google ads Mostly. However. Being ads. Barely contributes to microsoft's revenue. Not fair to compare one's Main business to the other's Side gig.
Several points were missed or omitted. 1.) Google is working on organizing all the internet data for the best AI search results and responses. That's the purpose of Gemini and is definitely a long run game. (Maybe they're using Apples strategy of release later once everyone has shown their cards, even Apples AI. I mean they still have more resources available to them when it comes to AI than everyone else) 2.) Android is the most popular OS globally and will now have Gemini Nano in newer devices moving forward. Maybe the user data will allow some deeper insights to AI on device and cloud AI interoperability and enhanced experiences that frankly only Apple would be able to compete with. 3.)Google would also have more responsibility in safely implementing AI since they have the biggest amount of users. I don't think Google is going anywhere anytime soon.
Yes, also DuckDuckGo is way more a Threat than ChatGPT and any other AI search. because google was creepy, and more often They create their own imaginary preference, instead of the Preference setting that you gave them. instead of being Neutral, they kept shoehorning things that Irrelevant and i'm not interested. until one day enough is enough. Although not perfect, DuckDuckGo is a more Neutral and private search engine, they respect my preference if i was a teenager, i would gladly use google, but once you grow up, privacy means more to you. Google is the one who shooting their own foot here, they have the best product, but kept putting creepy stuff in it.
To your first point…the market is fickle. We are creatures of habit. Haven’t used a Microsoft browser in years now I’m using Bing and Copilot almost instinctively. BlackBerry released too late and lost significant market share to Apple.
You look like you know what's really going on in technology. I'm 58 and barley keeping up with basics, my fear is AI will take over. Atm I think a EMP could be dropped to stop technology progressing. 10yrs ago I went to tafe did 5yrs IT. Was said a computer back then somewhere power source was a biological(think virus) Have we already reached point of no return in your opinion AI can't be stopped
Good report. Precision in a search engine is what is missing - it will be better for the search and provide the user a learning platform that will make the user think and be smarter (the opposite of what much of technology is doing today).
The problem is that AI isn't going to increase the precision. It's going to be an even fuzzier mess driven by trends of others. It's further in the same problem direction that Google has been taking.
they obviously not sponsored coz they are unknown search engine that's why. just wait until their name become huge and businesses start coming to their company get reservations. but for now these new search engine companies are doing great and you should use them too. just don't expect them to be the same in the next 5yrs.
Ohhh. It seems so unfair. Since they have been such responsible custodians of all that power. Never abused the access we’ve given them, always been transparent about their activities, never predatory in their business practices. I would cheer if I didn’t believe their replacement will be even worse.
People don't always want just one answer. People (and consumers) do like to conduct research and compare info. There will always be a place for search engines. But spoon fed AI answers will certainly be addictive.
How does CNBC honestly puts an human being on the show which says “I also use Tik Tok as Google” like what the hell man. This generation is done, terminal damage.
If you are a young person who wants to eat at a new trendy restaurant, of course tik tok is an option. Or do you want to find a list of restaurants on Google written by a 60 year old newspaper reviewer? The same if you are looking for trendy boots, you want Google to just show you which boot manufacture paid the most for ads? Or do you want to see someone your age who's boots clip went viral? A huge portion of searches are not academic. I think Google loses on both sides, the trendy social stuff with TikTok, and the academic stuff with perplexity.
Seriously folk, turn down or off the music. Your show is NOT a musical. Your show is about facts & that google sucks. & I mean that in the nicest possible way. ☮️💖🌻
What these "experts" fail to realize is Tech Giant like Google can't release half baked products, especially LLMs which still have so many issues like hallucinations, biases, etc. Search is their main product. Imagine if Google goes and releases a half baked product and it starts spitting out offensive results, these "experts" will then start critizing Google for moving too quickly 😂😂
I agree, but just so you know, web search is no longer Google's main service. Advertising is now by far their main source of revenue. I think it's important for people to be aware of that.
Google released *Stadia* , which was a half baked product. They're not a perfect company. Don't forget that Google sometimes releases bad/half baked products such as Google Plus+ (failed social media platform).
This Google CEO is driving the business downward. I don’t understand where did he go wrong when comes to AI? Google should have been the first in AI. It is kind of stupid that google is laying off employees to meet the earnings. It’s saying that the company is not improving.
I tried bing the other day, but switched right back to Google, over result quality. Sure, Google is losing some search traffic, but it's still the dominant player.
Even the news is garbage these days. They use Tiktok to find something interesting and then claim Google search is not good based on some Tiktokers review? Google will always be top and Microsoft can dance to their music as always!
How about in america, I want to online on amazon, if no apps in Google search, and play store, where I can online, it's very important now this technology, online hiw if we use chip for data on 2050 technology, that time no cash on, we are all, on knowledge of online,
google search is still the best search engine. bing is really thrash and other browsers really can't compare to chrome. chat gpt is also limited in what it can do and people have started noticing. Bard AI has a chance right now to take over. Not to mention google will be integrating it's AI to it's mobile phones which I think eventually will give it the lead.
I mean… :s google is AI, they wont die, they have all the resources to keep it going. AI is just a module that consume the master platforms more efficient.
AltaVista also was big, until Google showed up. The game was lost for AV because G was faster on it's time and new customers got on it. Behavior was created. True, G is on every cellphone, but this is only because other systems are blocked from entering the market. Jolla does not sell to North America. Harmony OS in not present here either. With more systems on the market than Android or iOS, competition in the field would grow. Of course decades long monopolies like Apple or Alphabet do not like it, which is why we still use Google search.
We actually have more access to info than ever before, yet some people are actually less informed than ever before. They get lazy and just rely on tech to do everything for them. They also go to limited sources they choose for info. We’ve seen when you only use one source or very biased sources for news you’ve actually less informed because you never get the whole picture, only one side. If AI is giving you far less options or answers that’s exactly what it’s doing. Who then is deciding what side of the story or info you get? Is it a company or your own personal choice? Either way, what is that choice based on? That company or a persons political leanings, view toward medical advice (pharma vs homeopathic), financial interests, products to sell, etc. Who’s choosing what info your search result shows you can have can have major consequences.
When a business is more focus on exploiting the consumers and just extract the every possible dollar whether via a subscription or an ad and fails to innovate which might reduce their profits then it's surely headed towards its doomed because innovation which caused disruption was that thing which made them big. And now they're putting it on the backfoot.
