Exploring Google's New Generative AI Search Experience 🤖

Let’s take a dive into a topic that's been buzzing in the tech community: Google's new generative AI search experience. Let's unpack what it's all about and how it stands against other AI tools in the market.

1. Google's Generative AI Search Experience: An Overview

Google has rolled out a beta test for its new generative AI search experience. If you're keen to give it a whirl, head over to labs.google.com. Currently, it seems to be available mainly for non-paid Google accounts. So it will probably not work with a LiveWall suite account. The AI not only provides answers to your questions but also suggests potential follow-up queries.

2. How Does It Perform?

In tests, the AI showcased its ability to generate basic HTML and JavaScript code. However, it often defaults to regular search results, especially for controversial or sensitive topics. Instead of generating a response, it plays safe by providing search results.

3. The Big Comparison: Google AI vs. ChatGPT vs. Bing's AI Chat

ChatGPT seems to have an edge when it comes to understanding nuances and generating more human-like responses. Bing's AI chat, on the other hand, might be more helpful for certain types of queries. It's an interesting triad, and each has its strengths and weaknesses.

4. The Commercial Angle

While the AI-generated results are ad-free, the regular search results below them aren't. It's a mix of pure information and commercial content.

5. Geographical Limitations

The main focus seems to be around the US for now. But it is expected to roll out to Europe soon. If you want to try it, use a VPN.

6. Final Thoughts

While Google's new AI search experience is a step in an interesting direction, it might not be a game-changer just yet. However, knowing Google and its penchant for innovation, we can expect significant improvements in the future.
