I've been an indie tech blogger for several years, and the gradually declining page views and organic traffic point toward only one thing: The reach and omniscience of Google Search are on the decline as more people become addicted to ChatGPT. If you keep an ear out on blogging and SEO subs, you'll hear the same thing.
When I interact with ChatGPT today, stepping out of my programming shoes and evaluating it as a layperson, I see that the potential here is enormous and very much within the realms of technical feasibility. Many Android apps could vanish from our phones if a few key players, like OpenAI, decide to take the initiative. Imagine a chat with an LLM called BBGPT that's linked to BigBasket:
Me: Hey BB, please create an order for 1 kg of sugar, 4 packets of Nandini Blue Milk, and 800 grams of Parle-G biscuits.
BB: Sugar from the Popular or Royal brand?
Me: Which one tastes better and is healthier?
BB: They're usually the same for most practical purposes, but you can check the nutrition facts here, if you're interested.
Me: All right, please confirm the order!
BB: I've just sent a Google Pay request for UPI payment.
Me: (Makes the payment).
BB: Your order is confirmed! Let me know if I can do anything else for you today.
Me: Thanks BB, you're a great buddy!
This is 10x more efficient than placing an order on BigBasket app or website, or any online order for that matter! It's only a matter of time before someone figures this out and starts rolling these changes out.
About a decade ago, in 2014, if I had told you that something similar to Tom Riddle's Diary would give a tough competition to the greatest search engine on the planet, you'd probably have laughed at me! But not today, with the advent of ChatGPT.
The future is here. The technology is ready. It's only a matter of who, when, and how someone will take the initiative! What do you think about this? Please let me know in the comments.
