Google's Search Dominance Challenged by Rise of AI Chatbots
-
Google's search dominance is declining due to more spam links and people think results are getting worse. New AI chatbots offer an alternative way to search.
-
Google has its own AI assistant Gemini and is testing a new search feature. Microsoft Bing has Copilot powered by ChatGPT. New startups like Perplexity and You.com use AI.
-
Most services are free but offer paid premium options with more advanced AI and features. You don't need an account for most.
-
Ask questions conversationally in natural language. You can ask follow-ups to clarify. Results are readable summaries, sometimes with source links.
-
Answers can be inaccurate or false. Always double check info across multiple services. AI chatbots don't reveal how they get responses.
