    Will it change the way we search for stuff on google or will it remind kind of the same?

    AI helps refine and provide more relevant results, but the core process of entering keywords and browsing search results is largely unchanged. However, AI continues to evolve, so we might see more significant changes in the future.

    I haven't visited single website after search on Google except 1 time. I always use Bard now.

    I have started a topic to suggest a standardization feature for contextual AI SEO.

    Feature suggestion: AI contextual website manifest JSON for advanced AI SEO
    https://forums.digitalpoint.com/thr...te-manifest-json-for-advanced-ai-seo.2878975/

    Google surely has a significant capacity in-house to make sense of what a website is about, but I believe that the 'real magic' ultimately lays outside of the reach of Google, namely, with Google's users: both the searchers and the content creators. Selling is an art and user-interaction is a human thing which efficiency-relevance changes with time. Therefore, SEO for AI search may be something that is of essential value for some time in the future.

    With regard using AI for search. Google is yet to change its interface. As it appears from the demo's that I've seen, the AI block is similar to the WikiPedia blocks that have been displayed for a decade.

    Interesting!

    Google's new generative AI search has sparked a lot of discussion, with both exciting possibilities and some concerns. Which goes like this:

    Positives
    • Improved user experience: AI-generated summaries can provide a quick and easy overview of a topic, saving users time and effort. The ability to ask follow-up questions directly within the AI response can further refine the information gained.
    • More natural interaction: The conversational nature of the AI search can feel more intuitive and engaging compared to traditional keyword-based searching. This could be particularly helpful for complex or open-ended questions.
    • Unlocking new types of questions: Generative AI could allow users to ask questions in more natural language, potentially leading to the discovery of information that wouldn't have been found through traditional keyword searches.
    Concerns:

    • Accuracy and bias: AI models are trained on massive datasets of text and code, which can contain biases and inaccuracies. These biases can be reflected in the AI-generated responses, leading to potentially misleading or harmful information.
    • Impact on traditional search: The reliance on AI-generated summaries could reduce traffic to websites, impacting publishers and content creators. This raises concerns about the future of the open web and access to diverse information.
    • Transparency and trust: Understanding how the AI models work and make decisions is crucial for building trust with users. Lack of transparency can lead to concerns about manipulation and censorship.
    Overall, Google's new generative AI search is a significant development with both potential benefits and risks. It's important to be aware of both sides of the equation and to critically evaluate the information provided by the AI Chat apps. While it can be a helpful tool, it's crucial to supplement it with traditional search methods and verify the accuracy of the information provided.

    Google's new generative AI search has the potential to revolutionize the way we search for information. It could enhance the accuracy and relevance of search results, making it easier to find what we're looking for. However, it remains to be seen how effectively it can handle complex queries and understand user intent. Ultimately, the impact will depend on how well Google integrates this technology into its existing search framework.

    It'll be interesting to see but I think people will always search one way or another.

    I used to be skeptical about using ChatGPT for search or for answers but I find it much faster. I hope Google search stays because that's how I make money but gotta keep evolving.

    Google AI seems to have moved away from answering searches with facts and into activism. It will totally reflect the worldviews of those Google employees who input to it. Now only the question remains: how long before it infects the entirety of Google search and all we then get in the SERPS is tainted by the programming input of a subset of people who inject their common worldview.

    Google has seriously ruined the search engine, and it’s not just the search results, but the fact that before I saw 10 results, and could easily open 2, 3, or 10 pages of results, but now I can’t. Stupid endless scrolling is constantly annoying. Previously, I didn’t even look at the first 2 pages of results, I knew that there were only paid posts and advertising, so I used to click on page 3 or 4, but now I have to scroll down indefinitely, and if I open one of links and then go back to the scroll, the scrolling throws me to the beginning... this is terrible

    When you're using AI and AI products, try this: picture yourself as talking with a robot. That's what you're basically doing. I prefer intelligent conversations with real people and reading intelligent writing by real people. AI will take away the human element. I like people a whole lot more than I like programmed robots.
