  • How big is ChatGPT compared to Google?

    Send a text

    What if the buzz around AI language models is just that—buzz? Join me, Ed Dawson, as I peel back the layers on the real-world impact of ChatGPT compared to the search giant Google. With over two decades in the SEO and digital marketing arena, I explore the numbers and user behaviors that reveal a stark difference between industry chatter and actual usage. You’ll gain insights into why, despite the noise, Google’s dominance in user interactions remains largely unmatched, with a ratio of roughly 25 Google users for every ChatGPT user.

    In this episode of "SEO is Not That Hard," we dissect the statistics that show Google's search queries dwarf ChatGPT conversations by a staggering 2,300 times. While many digital marketers are enamored with AI’s potential, the data suggests a different narrative. We’ll discuss whether AI is poised to reshape user habits or if it’s simply another tool in the digital marketing arsenal that’s yet to break into mainstream behavior. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of where digital trends are truly headed, far from the hype and closer to the reality of user engagement online.
