If Google's search engine behaved like ChatGPT, what would happen?
Imagine if Google's search engine behaved like ChatGPT. The first thing that happens is that the thing you're looking for will be right there in search results. You'll be able to see exactly what a page is about by looking at its titles and meta descriptions. You can ask questions in multiple languages, and get answers in any language. The engine prioritises the fact that you can't find something, rather than the query you typed in. Asking questions like "Is this video available on Netflix?" or "Can I watch this movie on Hulu?" will work like they do on Google's Knowledge Graph currently. You'll get more informative results if you enter a location into your query directly as opposed to using a search box dropdown for it (e.g., if you're searching for restaurants near me).
The first thing that happens is that the thing you're looking for will be right there in search results. As soon as you start typing, our system will begin to personalize the results according to your preferences, location and current activity.
For example: If someone searches for "coffee shop," our system would show them nearby coffee shops with reviews from friends who have been there recently and rated them highly. Or if someone searches "movie theater" we'll show them only theaters that are playing movies they might like at this moment (based on past viewing habits).
You'll be able to see exactly what a page is about by looking at its titles and meta descriptions. It's like having Google right there in your browser, but with the added benefit of being able to talk to it!
You can ask questions in multiple languages, and get answers in any language.
Let's say you want to know how to say "I'm hungry" in Spanish. You could type "how do I say 'I'm hungry' in Spanish?" into Google Translate, but it would only give you the translation of that phrase back into English--not what you asked for! With ChatGPT, this isn't an issue: just type your question as is (i.e., without punctuation or capitalization), and we'll show you an answer written out exactly as if someone had spoken it aloud before recording their voice clip on our platform.
The engine prioritises the fact that you can't find something, rather than the query you typed in.
Once you've typed in your query, the engine will understand what you are looking for. It knows what you can't find and is able to answer the question "what should I do?"
The goal of ChatGPT is to provide users with relevant information that helps them achieve their goals, while also providing them with answers when they need them most. This means that we need to understand user intent: not only what was typed into the search box but also why they are asking this particular question at this moment in time.
Asking questions like "Is this video available on Netflix?" or "Can I watch this movie on Hulu?" will work like they do on Google's Knowledge Graph currently.

You'll get more informative results if you enter a location into your query directly as opposed to using a search box dropdown for it (e.g., if you're searching for restaurants near me). You can specify multiple locations by separating them with commas or spaces, like so: "123 Main St., Anytown, US" or "123 Main St., Anytown US." If there are multiple places with the same name within 10 miles of each other, Google will show all of these locations in their results--and this sometimes includes unconfirmed addresses!
Search would be more intelligent because it understands what information people want without having to guess from what they typed
Imagine if your search engine knew what you were looking for before you even typed it in. Imagine if Google could understand the intent behind your search, instead of just matching words and phrases.
The example we've been using is "What's the weather like?" In this case, ChatGPT would know that the user wants to know about the current weather conditions in their area. It would also understand that they don't necessarily want a forecast or historical data--they want an answer now!
Conclusion
While there are still improvements we can make to ChatGPT, we think it's a great example of how AI can help search engines understand what people want without having to guess from what they typed. It also shows how Google can leverage its existing products like Knowledge Graph, Google Now and voice search in order to make these improvements happen faster than ever before!
