ChatGPT's search volume is now roughly 20% of Google's. Wow, people were really sick of Google, huh?

According to Adam Fry, ChatGPT's consumer product lead, ChatGPT's search-like query volume is now roughly one-fifth of Google's. This surge in AI-powered search reflects widespread frustration with Google's search results, which many users feel have become cluttered with SEO spam and less trustworthy. Pew Research data shows that searching for information is the top use of AI chatbots, and ChatGPT alone has 1.2 billion weekly users. While Google downplays the competition as not a zero-sum game, the article argues that Google's search quality had deteriorated so much that it left itself vulnerable to disruption. Google even issued a "code red" in 2022 over ChatGPT, and the author suggests it might be time for another.
