ChatGPT Vs Google

The suggestion that ChatGPT is eating away at Google’s search dominance is exaggerated, with ChatGPT accounting for only 2% of Google’s monthly traffic. The claim stems from a Seeking Alpha article referencing a Bank of America report, relying on StatCounter and Similar Web data. Google’s global search market share dipped to 91.53% in October 2023, its lowest in a year. However, StatCounter doesn’t track ChatGPT, emphasising its role as a chatbot rather than a search engine. Google’s search market share has remained relatively stable since August 2015, fluctuating between 91.1% and 93.37%. While generative AI, including ChatGPT, may impact search, current data suggests a minimal effect on Google’s dominance.
