If you have accessed social networks in recent days, you are probably already aware of the news about Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools that are moving the market.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, Microsoft will invest heavily in ChatGPT\u2019s technology<\/strong>, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI, which must be incorporated into the Bing search service. On the other hand, Google was ahead in announcing Bard<\/strong>, an intelligent chatbot that should integrate Google Search in the near future.<\/p>\n

In the middle of this dispute are users, SEO professionals and brands. Everyone is keeping an eye on the consequences that this change can bring to their day-to-day activities, to strategies for Content Marketing<\/a> and for business.<\/p>\n

Next, I talk about what the implementation of artificial intelligence in search engines can mean for the future of SEO<\/strong> and how brands and professionals can prepare<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It all started with ChatGPT<\/h2>\n

ChatGPT emerged in late 2022 as an artificial intelligence language model trained by OpenAI<\/strong>. The tool can be used in conversational applications, virtual assistance systems and many other applications where human interaction with text is important.<\/p>\n

Intelligent chatbots are nothing new. However, ChatGPT caught the attention of the entire internet for the ability to generate coherent texts and answer questions<\/strong> on a huge variety of topics, all in a natural way.<\/p>\n

And, of course, the news would attract the attention of the tech giants. Recently, Microsoft announced a <\/strong>$10 billion investment<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>in the owner of the tool, with the aim of integrating the model into its search engine, Bing.<\/p>\n

And if ChatGPT has already moved the market, the turbocharged version of Bing can mean an even bigger revolution in the way we find information online<\/strong>. The technology incorporated by the engine is even more powerful than GPT-3.5, the current model of ChatGPT. This is because it must have a more updated and evolved version of the AI, GPT-4.<\/p>\n

Google joins the fray<\/h2>\n

Google doesn\u2019t want to be left behind. The company has been on alert since last year, as the launch of ChatGPT could pose a threat to its leadership in the online search market.<\/p>\n

A few days before Microsoft’s official announcement regarding the future of Bing, Google announced Bard<\/strong>. It is a chatbot similar to that of OpenAI, however, with LaMDA technology, from Google itself.<\/p>\n

The company hasn’t given much detail about Bard’s features and power. However, they intend to make access available to the public in the coming weeks<\/strong>. What we do know is that the company invested $300 million into the Artificial Intelligence company Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI researchers.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the fight will be good, considering the history of rivalry between the two companies and the importance that the incorporation of an intelligent chatbot can mean for search engines as we know them today.<\/p>\n

The future of search engines<\/h2>\n

All of this news isn’t just impacting Microsoft and Google investors. Advancing in the incorporation of artificial intelligence to search engines in an efficient way can bring the next great internet revolution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The way we deal with online searches today can change completely. Search results will be shorter, simpler and more objective<\/strong>. The experience will be more humanized, since it will be based on natural language. In addition, we will be more agile in the search for specific answers.<\/p>\n

One thing that doesn\u2019t get talked about enough is how much these shifts can unsettle the routines we\u2019re used to on the internet. Imagine checking your favorite forums or niche blogs, only to see traffic nosediving because people are getting what they need from a chatbot in two seconds flat. That\u2019s not just theory\u2014it\u2019s something site owners are nervously sharing on places like Reddit and indie developer forums. The users want speed, but there\u2019s still plenty of curiosity about how reliable or nuanced these “instant” answers really are.<\/p>\n

More than having a quick and accurate answer, this type of intelligent tool can be associated with different activities of our day to day, whether for our personal lives or for activities related to our work routine.<\/p>\n

And, while we\u2019re at it, let\u2019s not pretend adoption will be smooth sailing for everyone. There are plenty of people\u2014content creators, journalists, experts\u2014who\u2019ve spent years building authority online. Now they have to figure out what their role is when an AI system can regurgitate similar advice without linking back or giving credit. Some will pivot, others will probably dig in, but it\u2019s going to be a bumpy road before anyone finds a new normal. Maybe in hindsight it\u2019ll seem obvious, but right now there are more questions than answers.<\/p>\n

It will be possible to summarize articles, change the tone of voice of texts, build lists, write pieces of code… The possibilities are literally endless.<\/p>\n

I just asked Microsoft\u2019s Bing AI to create a resignation letter because AI stole my job and wow \ud83d\ude2f pic.twitter.com\/cyHVP6PShN<\/a><\/p>\n
