Part 3/12:
One of the prevalent narratives is that ChatGPT might revolutionize search engines like Google. Shapiro counters this significantly, pointing out that GPT-based systems are prohibitively expensive to run—billions of times more costly than traditional search queries. Google’s decades of refinement, coupled with its integration of neural networks like BERT, already provide fast and reliable results, often with direct answers. Therefore, the idea that ChatGPT will displace search as we know it is, in his view, unlikely.
