-: So now let's talk about the difference
between ChatGPT and a Google search.
So they both are AI-powered tools
that differ in a few different ways.
So let's first talk about the purpose.
Of course, as we know, the Google search purpose
is a search engine that helps you find
links to information on the web.
While ChatGPT, on the other hand, is an interactive tool
that not only finds you the information
you're searching for,
but intelligently, and I put that in quotes
'cause it's kinda hard to say
if it's intelligently doing it,
but it's processing the information
that it's been trained on in a way that's personalized
for your needs and for your prompts.
So if I wanna find information on
top 10 search destinations in Paris,
I can go online and I can type that.
And Google, of course, is gonna serve me up a specific link
that I can find on their search page
that will give me that information,
but it's not personalized to me.
There's algorithms for Google
that's showing you certain links
and it's not showing other people that,
depending on your demographic and where you live,
but it's not really personalizing the information.
ChatGPT, on the other hand, can grab that information
and give me a list of the top 10 destinations,
but in a personalized, conversational way
so we can get more information
and it can be more specific to our use case.
So the next thing is now the input.
A Google search requires a user
to type in a specific query or question,
whereas ChatGPT interacts with the user,
like we just mentioned,
in a conversational and iterative manner.
This is key.
So you get to work with ChatGPT to get your desired output
by asking follow-up questions,
even if you don't know the right question to ask.
This is one of the coolest parts
about the conversational style.
It opens up a whole new world of learning
where you basically have this magic genie in a bottle
on your screen where you don't even
have to know the question to ask it yet.
You can literally ask, which we'll get into,
"ChatGPT, what question can I ask you
to get better at X, Y, Z?"
Or what specific trends
and new things coming out should I know about
for my online cooking business?
It'll tell you what you should know
before you even know that you don't know it,
if that makes sense.
So we can ask questions, which you cannot do on Google,
to get the answers that you want.
Next up is output.
So Google searches return a list of webpages
related to your question,
where ChatGPT can provide a single answer
or a specific response.
And an interesting statistic that I came across recently
was that 40% of first clicks on a Google search,
that user generally returns to the search page.
So what this means is when you're doing a Google search,
you find your page of information,
you look at the different links,
you click on the first, second or third link,
and you go back to that search,
and then you click another link,
that's generally stating that you're probably not finding
the specific answer on the first link that you clicked.
So it's actually not as effective as you'd like
to be getting that information quickly.
So ChatGPT is gonna serve you that information,
especially when you give the correct prompts
to get it on the first search versus the second, third,
or fourth search.
And the last point is the scope,
and this is gonna change with time,
but right now currently, Google has much more access
to more current and a larger amount of information
on the web that is current today.
ChatGPT is limited to a certain amount of information
that it was trained on.
This is gonna change with time
'cause eventually tools like ChatGPT are gonna be connected
to the current online information that's on the web
the moment you're doing your search.
So in short, Google is a search tool
to find information on the web,
while ChatGPT is a conversational tool
that can help you get the right questions to ask
and then synthesize large amounts of that information
for your specific needs.
So as we dive into this course,
once we get these basics figured out,
we're gonna learn how you can use this tool
for your business and for your personal life.
