I’m an AI expert – infamous chatbot ChatGPT could be the ‘death of Google’ and it’s already causing ‘crisis meetings’

CONTROVERSIAL AI chatbot ChatGPT is so good it has left people fearing for their jobs.

AI expert and senior research analyst at IDC, Jack Vernon, exclusively told The U.S. Sun that regular people probably don't need to worry about their jobs, but Google does.

ChatGPT is not a search engine but it is an AI chatbot that can provide quick answers.

Although it doesn't always provide highly accurate information, experts think that it could improve and even replace Google one day.

told The U.S. Sun: "I think there are some businesses that are really going to be threatened by this [ChatGPT] in a massive way.

"One of which, actually, is Google. So, about 60 percent of Google’s revenue still comes from advertising on its search engine and I think what could happen very quickly is that say 40 percent of people, instead of using Google, are just using ChatGPT most of the time to answer questions.

"You can get the right answer, not a list of 20 random websites that have paid to be at the top of the list.

"It’s very counter to their business model and actually I think the experience of ChatGPT is potentially a lot more efficient and faster and some people could get used to that very quickly."

Vernon said that Google is already known to be worried about ChatGPT.

The AI expert revealed that the tech giant has launched an internal team to research the threat of the technology.

He told us: "What’s most evident in this is that Google themselves have basically launched a huge internal team to work out how to counter the threat of the technology and I think it clearly says that they’re pretty worried about it.

"Other businesses, too, I think other companies are under threat from this.

"I don’t think social media but other websites that provide information or advice."
