Google was initially hesitant to enter the generative AI field as OpenAI’s tools gained popularity. Google believed that these tools were still too error-prone and could spread misinformation as a result. However, OpenAI’s partnership with Microsoft has essentially forced Google’s hand. Although Google is still being cautious in how it implements these new elements and integrates them with its current search and advertising offerings, it is now entering the generative AI field.

It is similar to ChatGPT in that it provides an overview of a topic, rather than just a list of search results. However, Google plans to integrate Bard’s results into its regular search engine results pages (SERPs). This means that generative AI results will not replace traditional search, but will instead offer additional guidance and pointers to users.
