Bing is on it's way in that direction. Microsoft needed something big to make Bing relevant again. This could potentially be it.

Will they eat all of Google's lunch? Probably not, but if they can begin to chip away at the insane share (93%+) of the marketplace that Google controls, then it can only be for the betterment of the Internet.

Bing doesn't seem any better than Google though. I was thinking of something that gives you a dramatically superior result than Google.

I created aisearch.vip which searches using bing api, removes results containing ads or seo junk, and uses openai to summarize content to void clickbait. I believe that this is the only way to get the 0-4 good results hiding in the top 20 results. It's paid because it costs to run. But to be honest I myself am a fan of what phind is doing. Just can't understand how they are able to cover costs yet

Microsoft is really still in their infancy of building out their end vision for AI in search. Right now it's roughly a chat bot that summarizes and gives references, without really tying into their core search well. Eventually it will negate the need to click through to many reference, then it will be better able to curate a list of alternative sources for what you seek. I think that's the big problem with AI as it stands now, people think we've already reached the end of the road, when really we're only at the beginning of it. Watch and see what the next decade of it looks like. I agree with Bill Gates that it all will fundamentally changed the way we see and interact with the world (for the better).

Doesn't that just kind of describe google now though?

I poorly worded that. I meant to say it will be able to answer most questions, but also refer you to the best sources for information that it can't provide.
