Specifically, it's the most compelling competitor that isn't included in the default iOS search engine list...

Tell me you live in a tech bubble without telling me you live in a tech bubble.

I do deep research for a living and it's the only search engine I've tried that returns superior results over Google Search.

I don’t believe they’re questioning the quality of the product but rather the broad market knowledge of it.

It may be great or not, but it’s largely unknown outside of a tech bubble, and therefore is unlikely to be mentioned.

There should be absolutely no surprise there.

I think openai is the most notable org taking swings at Google.

At least Google seems to feel that way. Might just be the Silicon Valley bubble

While true, it is also notable that ChatGPT is not a search engine, SearchGPT is not live yet, and that AI results have only further diminished the quality of search results in Google Search.

If anything, OpenAI has only served to further exacerbate and accelerate the inevitable decline of Google Search.

So you agree?

ChatGPT isn’t marketed as a search engine, but it’s essentially how it’s used. SearchGPT is a recognition of that.

And yeah OpenAI is making Google search worse _and_ providing a solution at the same time.

Sounds like a run at Google to me.
