Improve The News is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them. **What's establishment bias?** The establishment view is what all big parties and powers agree on, which varies between countries and over time. For example, the old establishment view that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote was successfully challenged. ITN makes it easy for you to compare the perspectives of the pro-establishment mainstream media with those of smaller establishment-critical news outlets that you won’t find in most other news aggregators. This Magazine/Community is not affiliated with Improve The News and is an unofficial repository of the information posted there.

  • According to a report published by Reuters, OpenAI could unveil its AI-driven search tool on Monday, extending its ChatGPT platform to compete with Google. reuters.com (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • OpenAI's new product will reportedly let ChatGPT provide web-sourced answers with citations like Wikipedia, blog posts, and images alongside written responses. Bloomberg (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • While the Google search rival hasn't appeared on OpenAI's official update list, a Reddit user has found SSL certificates for "search.chatgpt.com." Tech.co
  • It's reported that OpenAI may make the announcement a day before Google's annual I/O conference, during which the tech giant is expected to unveil multiple new AI-related products. Benzinga
  • In July 2023, Google reportedly led the global desktop search market with an 81.95% share, while Bing held 10.51%, and Yahoo 2.67%. Benzinga

Narrative A:

  • Even long-time Google users will explore new artificial intelligence-powered search engines. Perplexity, for instance, summarizes results with source links and has a "Copilot" feature, while its Pro version offers access to various AI models. Although the long-term impact of new AI on digital content consumption remains uncertain and will be debated, a challenge to Google is certainly arising in what could be a major market shift.

Narrative B:

  • The advantages Google enjoys over other search engines are monumental, including an ingrained habit among millions of its users and intuitive search results. Its strong reputation fosters user trust, and it seamlessly integrates services like Maps, yet remains free and convenient. There's a high probability that AI-based search engines will charge for premium features, so even if they take up some share of the market, it is unlikely they will ever come to truly challenge Google's dominance.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 50% chance that Google will be supplanted as the top search engine in the world by market share by 2046, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
