ChatGPT vs Google: Can ChatGPT end Google dominance as search engine giant? Here's how different they are
Google works by using something called web crawling and page ranking. It quickly goes through websites on the internet and shows you links along with small previews. You click on those links to get more details.
ChatGPT Search works differently. It uses smart AI technology and gets live information with help from Bing Search. Instead of just showing links, it gives you direct answers and explains the topic in a simple, friendly way, almost like you're talking to a person who knows a lot. What's the difference in Google and ChatGPT interfaces?
Google has a simple and familiar search bar, which people have been using for years. It also includes ads, shopping tools, and other features useful for business and marketing.
ChatGPT Search is different, it works more like a chat. You type a question, and the AI replies with a complete answer, making the experience more personal and easier to understand. Also, ChatGPT search currently gives an ad-free experience, so you get clean and focused answers without distractions.
In short, while Google is fast and link-based, ChatGPT is more about understanding and conversation. Both have their own strengths, but users are now seeing a clear choice between traditional search and smart AI help. Real-time information: A key difference
One major difference between Google and ChatGPT is how they give real-time updates. Google is very fast when it comes to showing live scores, news, and trends as it gives you results in seconds.
ChatGPT, however, might take a few extra seconds, especially for complex questions. That's because it first analyzes the question, tries to understand it better, and then gives a more thoughtful answer. When to use Google and ChatGPT? Google Search is best when you quickly need a answer, want to visit a website, or find a product online.
ChatGPT Search is more helpful when you want to understand a deep or tricky topic, need to create ideas or content, or want a short and clear explanation of something complex. Google as a fast librarian, ChatGPT as a smart assistant
Experts say that Google and ChatGPT are not just competitors, they are more like partners that help in different ways. Google is like a quick librarian as it helps you find things fast.
ChatGPT is like a skilled research assistant as it not only gives you the information but also explains it in a way that's easy to understand.

Using ChatGPT As Therapist? Sam Altman Says Chats Are Not Private
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned that ChatGPT chats are not private and legally protected like therapy sessions, and deleted chats may still be retrieved for legal and security reasons. Mr Altman's warning comes in the backdrop of an increasing number of people using the AI tool as a therapist. While chats with real therapists, doctors and lawyers are protected by legal rules, the same is not true for talks with chatbots, at least for now, Mr Altman conceded. "People talk about the most personal sh*t in their lives to ChatGPT. People use it - young people, especially, use it - as a therapist, a life coach; having these relationship problems and [asking] what should I do?" Mr Altman told podcaster Theo Von. "Right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there's legal privilege for it. There's doctor-patient confidentiality, there's legal confidentiality, whatever. And we haven't figured that out yet for when you talk to ChatGPT." As per Mr Altman, a growing number of people, especially the younger users, were turning to ChatGPT to seek help and advice. 'No one had to think about that even a year ago, and now I think it's this huge issue of like, 'How are we gonna treat the laws around this?'' See the post here: Sam Altman tells Theo Von about how people use ChatGPT as a therapist and there needs to be new laws on chat history privacy: 'If you go talk to ChatGPT about your most sensitive stuff and then there's a lawsuit, we could be required to produce that.' — Bearly AI (@bearlyai) July 27, 2025 AI as therapist? According to a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study by researchers at Stanford University, AI therapist chatbots are not yet ready to handle the responsibility of being a counsellor, as they contribute to harmful mental health stigmas. "We find that these chatbots respond inappropriately to various mental health conditions, encouraging delusions and failing to recognise crises. The Large Language Models (LLMs) that power them fare poorly and additionally show stigma. These issues fly in the face of best clinical practice," the study highlighted. The study noted that while therapists are expected to treat all patients equally, regardless of their condition, the chatbots weren't acting in the same way when dealing with the problems. The chatbots reflected harmful social stigma towards illnesses like schizophrenia and alcohol dependence, and were comparatively much easier on conditions like depression.
