Google has long had a near-monopoly on answering virtually all of our questions. But that might be changing. Increasingly, social platforms including TikTok are gearing up to satisfy 'search-style' queries, as seen in the question-style prompts at the top of TikTok videos' comment sections.
Meanwhile, generative AI, like ChatGPT, could be set to take its own share of the pie; as those large language models become more sophisticated, they'll be better and better at answering our questions.
