ChatGPT-like AI could destroy Google in two years

Plus: Scientists just discovered a 17-pound meteorite in Antarctica. Feb 02, 2023 [Blueprint]( [Watch your back Google, ChatGPT’s coming for you](. Is this the beginning of the end for the Google search engine? Paul Buchheit (the guy who created Gmail) thinks so. He’s tweeted to say that, thanks to ChatGPT, Google's business will last a maximum of two years. Launched in November last year, ChatGPT is the new go-to destination for asking questions online. Instead of delivering a response to a search result that runs into tens of pages, ChatGPT answers the questions in a conversational style, making it easier for the user to ask follow-up questions. But before you decide whether this is all going to happen or not, take a look at [this video](. It shows Arleigh Burke Class — a class of multi-mission guided missile destroyers built by the United States Navy to perform roles including air defense and antisubmarine warfare. Good morning.

This has led many to wonder if this could be the beginning of the end for the Google search engine. But don’t feel too sorry for Google yet. The company charges advertisers a fee for displaying their products and services right next to the search results, increasing the likelihood of the provider being found. In 2021, it raked in over $250 billion in revenue, which is its best-ever income in its nearly 25-year existence. → With ChatGPT making rapid strides (it has even passed MBA exams at the Wharton School of Business) it has received further financial support from Microsoft as it looks to incorporate the chatbot's abilities into its own search engine and pip Google from the top spot.

In fact, in the last 100 years alone, scientists have recovered about 45,000 of them from the frozen continent. However, only a small number (around 100) of those are as heavy as a newly-found meteorite, which weighs in at 16.7 pounds (7.57 kg). This meteorite is among the five space rocks a team of international researchers recently discovered in Antarctica.
