I honestly think Google is completely vulnerable in search currently, the actual results you get back from Google and Image Search are shockingly poor, even get it zclaiming it has no results now for some queries which I just know isn't true because 10 years ago you could type anything in and there would be at least 6 figures if not 7 figures of results for any term.

Actually think even if a western company just launched Google from 10 years ago again today people would switch over because it would be better than what their offering today is.

Not sure if OpenAI will get converts but it's definitely the right time to be taking on those stagnant and rotten products Google has, well neglected isn't the right word but more spent the past few years optimizing the wrong metric to the point of breaking the product.

Wow. I agree, people would sign on for an old version of Google in a second.

I suppose there is no external access to any legacy Google code to make this A/B test. But it would be wonderful!
