ChatGPT and Google Search

It is not accurate to say that ChatGPT is a ‘Google killer,’ as ChatGPT and Google are two different types of technologies that serve different purposes. ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT language model specifically designed for chatbot applications. Google is a search engine that allows users to search for information on the internet by entering keywords or phrases into a search bar.
