ChatGPT Become No. 1 search engine

Google’s dominance as the most visited website has been undisputed since it rose to prominence as the leading search engine in the early 2000s.

the arrival of new artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots such as ChatGPT, which can answer people's questions online.

Google is countering by developing its own AI products. But its chatbot, Bard, didn't have the most auspicious start.

Plus, being the most popular website in the world comes with much more than prestige, namely incredible wealth from advertising revenue.

But recent, sudden shifts in the technology landscape have created uncertainty for the likes of Google.

If AI chatbots such as ChatGPT begin carrying adverts, it could cut into Google's leading position in the world of search engine advertising.

But the emergence of new AI platforms has shown that search as we know it does not have to end with a set of ordered links to websites. Instead, as the chatbots are showing, it can take the form of a conversation.
