Back in 2017, Google introduced Google Duplex, a tool that could make phone calls and sound incredibly human-like. It was impressive, but Google decided not to continue the project. While some said it was technically challenging, others thought there wasn’t a clear use for it. An insider told me its first use was to automatically check business hours. Especially around holidays it proves very difficult to have accurate hours in Google Maps.
I hear about the decay of (google) search a lot but I disagree with it. I think search is still great and chatgpt is better for certain use cases, like coding questions.
However, the google search labs generative experience (SGE) has been a game changer for me and has pulled a lot of my chatgpt “search” usage back to google search?
Why? Because googles stuff has high accuracy with all sources embedded throughout the answer. I’ve gotten enough wrong answers from ChatGPT that I know I usually have to verify manually.

(Perplexity AI is great btw)
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I’ll also give SGE a try and report back here!
