OpenAI completely opposes Google. The developer of the popular ChatGPT is not happy with this launch. Yes, it recently announced the launch of SearchGPT, but according to The Information, it wants to go even further and is considering working on the development of a web browser.
Browser with integrated chatbot. The theoretical web browser will have the usual features of such applications, but will also integrate ChatGPT. It’s unclear whether this includes the new SearchGPT or what kind of functionality the chatbot will offer, but the proposal is certainly a frontal attack against Google.
A delicate moment for Chrome. Google is in a difficult situation, especially since the US Department of Justice (DoJ) has officially requested Google to sell its Chrome browser. There are ways around this to prevent this from happening, but the reality is that, as analyst MG Siegler explains on Spyglass, separating Chrome from Google “is something that seems like a good idea on paper, but will be extremely complicated to do in the future.” all.” It’s not entirely impossible.”
But there is possibility. The browser world is certainly turbulent. Mozilla is going through a very difficult situation, the development of the stunning Arc has been stopped and neither Safari nor Edge can really compete against Chrome. It could take years for the Justice Department’s demands to be met, so it will be difficult to change things in Google’s browser in the short term. Still, there are opportunities for new developments, and OpenAI’s idea of ​​launching a chatbot-powered browser is certainly intriguing.
More plan B. This medium stated that in addition to the search engine, it also negotiates or makes agreements with various platforms and web services. These projects, which focus mainly on the field of electronic commerce, will enable these companies to use artificial intelligence and new search functions in all kinds of stores, as well as in businesses such as tourism, accommodation or real estate markets.
Possible alliance with Samsung. The company is also considering an alliance with Samsung to offer AI functions on its devices. The deal would be similar to the one Apple signed with OpenAI in the summer and would provide cold water for Samsung’s traditional ally Google.
secret war. Previous moves and those described in The Information seem to make clear that OpenAI today is moving many chips around in an attempt to enter markets traditionally dominated by Google. Its chatbot has managed to replace the traditional Google search engine for most people, at least in certain scenarios, and GPT-4o competes directly with Gemini Live to become the new voice assistant we interact with every day.
