I’ve created a podcast exploring what the future of “search” looks like. In this not too distant, armed with our mobile devices and access to new AI-powered search products like Search GPT (sign up to join the waitlist), I predict the soon-to-be ancient art of Googling will be a relic for the next generation. Culturally, this has huge implications, so I customized a ChatGPT 4o to discuss it with me.
Conversational AI will NOT be the catalyst that drives the new search. According to the brilliant book “Everybody Lies” by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, many users are habituated to typing queries and may find it uncomfortable to switch to voice interactions, especially for personal matters! Typing feels more private and controlled, as it is a direct interaction with the device that does not involve speaking out loud. We are a typing culture!
However, curated and summarized search results that are conversational and complex are bound to change how we collectively ask questions and find information.
Scan this code in Spotify to listen in the app. I’ve included poll questions on the Spotify episode.
Do you believe AI-powered search engines will improve your daily information retrieval compared to traditional Google-style searches?
