Is Seo Dead? Google Gonna Die?

With the rise of Chat GPT, are google and SEO going to die? What are your opinions?

No, people will adapt and learn how to rank in the new ecosystem.

chatGPT will change the environment of the Internet

ChatGPT is only useful for essays and "I am feeling lucky" kind of answers. You expect a short answer that solves the question.

Not really people are making too much fuss about it

Although chili is spicy, it cannot be used as a substitute for pepper.


ChatGPT will have no impact on Google. If you learn to code, you will never ask such questions again, and you will understand how it works.

To answer your question, first of all, people don't want Google to only answer their questions. It's all about trust. ChatGPT is not a trusted place.

Second, Google is not a Quora website; it's more than that. Even for the worst keywords, Google tries its best to give more relevant results.

Finally, Google crawls millions of websites daily, and it redirects users to the best website based on their query, which is not at all possible with ChatGPT.

For example, if I want to buy "proxies," I can ask Google to suggest some good proxy sites that are alive, and trending on 2023.

But, when you ask the same question to chatGPT, it will give you the list of dead sites because chatGPT is not trained with current data. It needs to updated daily in order to give accurate answers.

I hope it is clear now.

There is a real chance and a opportunity to split google's share of total searches. Microsoft is working with openai to "integrate" chatgpt with bing. If these happens successfully, the first thing can happen is end of googles domination of search traffic.
But will it happen? I don't know....

Haven't tried chatgpt coz I didn't find it useful for now yet so I assume it won't bother google soon

I, on the other hand, think, while its implications are huge and could really restructure the search engine ecosystem, it probably won't take down google or the SEO. Google is not just some small company to just give up at the very first obstacle you know. and I have a feeling that they knew this was coming because they had their own chatbot too. Then, the people perhaps didn't expect it was going to be released to the public wide welcome, which might have caught google off guard. But even then, it is NOT being adapted fast enough to move to google out of business. Plus, the chatbot is not new, there was this tool or AI that Sartre uses, or used developed by one of those top universities, I cant remember the name of it now. but it was open-source and widely available to the public too, way before chatbot, in fact, there is not just one, there were a few when I did the research. So, there actually are more chatbots than you know at the moment. Also, chatgpt is not available in every country, while google is. Another advantage is that google not only is present but services those locales by customizing the serps. Anyways, the comparison table could be a long one, but you get the idea, they both don't serve the all the same purpose, quite similar but different too, and perhaps won't ever be like that.

thus, they both could remain and be popular at the same time, which is what I am leaning to believe

SEO died 10 years ago and google will die within 10 months. End of the world.
Long live chatgpt lol

There is no doubt ChatGPT like AI will hit SEO hard, lot of publishers will lose significant revenue. Anyone who denies it is just lying.

Not now, but influence and various types of implementations of GPT-4 or GPT-5 will definitely change the internet as we know it. I give it 5-10 years.

There are already so many threads opened on this topic. I don't understand why people are scared. People search Google for information produced by actual humans. No one's gonna listen to what a bot has to say. It might feel fancy in the beginning since it is new. But this is not long term. Google is here to stay.

Chatgpt would be done soon ! you can change the internet but not people perspective mate .

I quite agree with you.
But the question is how to "replace" search traffic if ChatGPT will not show any search results under it's answer.
I'm quite sure most of the obstacles are easy to solve on the side of OpenAI, like applying news in the model on a daily basis.
But who will produce "free" input to these models? I'm sure CNN, NYTimes, Guardian etc. will not do such a favor, unless they receive clicks from ChatGPT.

Getty Images is already suing Stable Diffusion because they trained their model using also their data (image) set. How about half of the internet community including big publishers would sue OpenAI becuase OpenGPT was trained using web.

So much questions.

Traditional blogging site may take a hit, but then local seo, lead generation, job boards can prosper all about anticipating and moving to the next big thing in time

I really think that ChatGPT will give superficial answers. What I mean by that is if you ask a question what is the fastest car in the world? It will give you a fine answer (albeit from 2021 anyway). But if you want to go deeper than that, I dont think chatgpt can give proper useful content

That's false. It's so simple to ask ChatGPT about a lot of long-tail, common knowledge questions. And the fact is, it gives quite a good answers in most cases (unlike GPT-3 based tools).
I know because I'm using ChatGPT on daily basis, and it's addictive.

p.s. I would never speak to an advanced bot more than 1 minute, because it's answers are simply not impressive. As a matter of fact I could compare ChatGPT only with LaMDA at the moment, the rest of the tools/chatbots are simply bad.

I foresee that the death of Big G is right around the corner.
In the nearest future AI will supplant Google and others.

I'm talking in terms of a regular person and not an internet marketer. Chaptgpt is used by so many people since its free now. Once it goes paid, the number of people will also go down who use it.
