Bing Taking a Bite out of Google’s Pie

 With the introduction of ChatGBT into the Bing search engine, is this now the race to the bottom in terms of pricing just like what Amazon Web Services (AWS) did for compute and storage servers? 

This is the first major innovation in years to the search market. Microsoft is hoping its investment into ChatGBT as the critical knife point that would enable Bing to take a bite out of Google’s dominance as the world’s search engine. Microsoft’s CEO “Nadella said he was willing to accept any “demonetisation” of the search business” in order to lessen Google’s slice of the pie. In response, Google has had a blunder filled week with the error prone first impression of Bard, Google’s response to ChatGBT. Yet, Bing’s new search result layout is eerily similar to Google’s. This leaves the reader to wonder, is the real battle a preference over a product or will the AI enabled search truly be a lasting innovation or is it just another fad? I personally believe that this may be a fad in search but the larger impact on automating jobs like cold email or drafting emails will forever change. With the major impact of AI is still unknown, I look forward to the disruption that will be taking place in the near future.
