AI chatbots to change the behaviour of internet

It is clearly visible there is an open WAR that has erupted in the era of new age technology among world’s biggest search engines — Google, Bing and Baidu, who are using tools similar to ChatGPT to turn Internet search into a conversation. This Fast technology disruption is going to change humanity’s relationship with machines.

  
Sources reveal that the big tech giants will be integrating ChatGPT or similar technology into their search products, allowing people to get direct answers or engage in a conversation, rather than merely receiving a list of links after typing in a word or question. How will this change the way people relate to search engines? Are there risks to this form of human–machine interaction?

 
Elon Musk was one of the first investors and backers of OpenAI, which created ChatGPT. However, he now believes that it has become closed-source. AI is one of the greatest threats to the survival of humanity,” Musk said at the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, immediately after discussing the creation of ChatGPT.   

 
The faster adoption of artificial intelligence models over the past few years has been faster than almost anyone expected. Some advances have left society scrabbling to adapt. Teachers are struggling to stop students using chatbots to write their essays, artists claim they are losing paid work to image-creating AIs and efforts are under way in some places to replace journalists with large language models. 

 
Microsoft’s Bing uses ChatGPT, Google’s AI-powered search engine, Bard and now we are going to witness Baidu’s ERNIE Bot, will be available in March. All three companies are using large language models (LLMs). LLMs create convincing sentences by echoing the statistical patterns of text they encounter in a large database. Open AI has started off as an open-source non-profit, after investment done by Microsoft it’s now closed-source and for-profit.

 
Chatbots empowered by artificial intelligence can increasingly engage in natural conversations and build relationships with users. Before these announcements, a few smaller companies had already released AI-powered search engines. “Search engines are evolving into this new state, where you can actually start talking to them, and converse with them like you would talk to a friend.
