The Battle of the Search Engines ⚔️
We dove deep into the world of AI search engines, pitting SearchGPT and Perplexity against the reigning champ, Google Search. 🏆 While AI search is still evolving, it’s clear that Google has some serious competition.
When AI Reigns Supreme ✨
Finding Answers, Not Just Links
AI search engines excel at understanding your questions and delivering direct answers. Need to know how to do something technical? AI is your new best friend. 💻
Example: Asking “How do I fix a Python module error?” yielded detailed instructions from both AI engines, while Google sent us on a wild goose chase through irrelevant links.
🔥 Hot Off the Press
AI search engines are surprisingly good at finding very recent information. 📰
Example: Perplexity correctly identified a new Unri robot video released that morning, while SearchGPT struggled and Google only showed it after directly searching for the video title.
Local and Specific? AI Has Your Back 📍
Need to find something specific in your area? AI search engines can handle that!
Example: SearchGPT knocked it out of the park when we asked for the top movie theaters in our neighborhood, providing not just a list, but reasons why they were great. Google and Perplexity? They totally missed the mark.
Google Still Holds the Crown…Sometimes 👑
Speed is King ⚡
Let’s be real, Google is lightning fast. ⚡️ AI search engines can be a tad slower, especially with more complex queries.
Websites & Images? Google Wins 🖼️
If you’re looking for a specific website or image, Google’s massive index and powerful filtering options are still unmatched.
Example: Our search for robot images on Google was a breeze with its vast library and helpful filters, while the AI engines struggled to keep up.
The Verdict
AI search engines like SearchGPT and Perplexity are powerful tools that excel at providing direct answers, especially for technical, recent, or local information. However, Google Search remains dominant for its speed, website indexing, and image search capabilities.
