AI Is Replacing Google Search: Why OpenAI’s CEO Doesn’t Use Google Anymore

By Jotham | Smart Tech Kenya

In a recent interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that he “legitimately cannot tell you the last time I did a Google search.” With ChatGPT now serving 700 million users weekly, AI-powered search and assistance are no longer just tools—they’re becoming the primary means of finding information. 1

Why is this a big deal?

  • User shift: People are choosing conversational AI over traditional search engines.
  • Real-time answers: AI responds instantly, often with more contextual answers.
  • Game-changing scale: 700 million weekly users proves ChatGPT isn’t just a novelty—it’s mainstream. 2

What This Means for Tech & You

  • Search evolves: Expect integrated AI assistants in apps and browsers.
  • Content strategy: Bloggers and creators must optimize for AI comprehension—not just keywords.
  • Everyday users: Need to learn to prompt AI effectively for best results.

What Can You Do Now?

  • Start using ChatGPT or similar AI tools for research—compare results to Google.
  • Create blog content with strong structure and context to help AI better understand and retrieve your posts.
  • Share your AI-assisted discoveries—be part of early adoption.

Question: If you could ask ChatGPT anything—what would it be? Let me know in the comments!
