21 years ago I wrote, "I Search Therefore I Google". It's something I could arguably still write today, along with the billions of others who start their day with a query dropped into the Google homepage or, more likely, their address bar where Google is casually seated. All that could change, though, and now, after using ChatGPT search, I wonder if a half decade from now, I'll write "I search therefore I ChatGPT".
OpenAI's ChatGPT has already had an incredible run as one of the first generative AI platforms everyone knows about, if not uses. The ambition to add search to the platform was well-known and, in some ways, seen as a smart way to bridge the gap between what often appeared to be canny answers and too-frequent hallucinations and misinformation.
