chatgpt has 1M+ users quickly. per this article, it can do great things and can do bad things:
google answers info queries for free, so it can monetize the commerce queries with adwords. it does it using a mix of keyword-based answers and api-based answers in their oneboxes for weather, etc.
remember chacha, the text search company that tried to answer both info queries and commerce queries with humans? died because it was too expensive to have humans answer info queries that weren't monetizable.
so now with chatgpt, can you do chacha 2.0. answer the info queries with chatgpt, and detect commerce queries and have humans answer those, with big $ associated with those. can you make enough on the early commerce queries to have good CACD to fund CAC to get users to start texting with you for all their search queries vs using google or siri on their mobile phones?
chatgpt now exists
users are on their mobile phones now, and texting is more comfortable vs web browser on the phone and you can text to voice on iphones while you drive.
siri hasn't developed materially post Apple acquisition so it gets a lot of answers wrong, so users would be open to a "better siri".

An interesting mashup - use Chat GPT to create a prompt to feed into stable diffusion / Midjourney.

GPT totally has the potential to disrupt google in a way that siri was supposed to. Tricky to get it right, making the commerce/ad model work will be trickier still, and Google has to be looking at this as well.
