Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where you learn – in just a minute or two a day – what is happening in crypto and other game-changing ideas. As always: In plain English.
Yesterday, we talked about AI and how it will most likely allow for completely personalized movie and TV content that is incredibly realistic, but generated just for you. And honestly, looking at the stuff we see in our Netflix account right now, that future can’t come fast enough if you ask us.
But for today, on to something that you can already experience yourself: The replacement of search engines like Google.
To understand the incredible shift we are about to witness there, let’s first look at why Google exists. There are billions of websites out there, and each has some sort of information to offer. You would never be able to find it, so Google reads all of them for you, and with just one search, shows just the few that are most relevant.
And this is where the trouble starts. Now it’s on you to click link after link in the search results, doing your own work to figure out the solution to your question.
With AI, on the other hand, technology can now do the reading and summarizing for you. Say you are looking for a new toaster. You type in “best toasters” and it’ll start having a quick conversation with you: How many slices do you want to toast? How much do you want to spend?
And then the magic happens: It’ll create a completely personalized recommendation. No further research needed.
And if you think this won’t work, or only work with specific types of questions like the toaster purchase - well, we challenge you to try the new Bing which will come out any day now. Microsoft has built exactly AI to replace search and it is incredible how well it responds to you.
As always - you’ll be the judge. But we think this is Google 2.0 - the question is just: Will Google miss the boat?
