Rime Labs CEO and founder Lily Clifford stated that AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini might already offer the best user experience compared to search engines.
Clifford highlighted the simplicity and lack of ads in AI chatbot responses, reminiscent of search engines in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which she considers the prime user experience.
Generative AI tools are currently being used for various tasks, with many people, including Clifford, replacing search engines with AI chatbots for quick and concise answers.
Clifford anticipates that the user experience of AI chatbots may evolve similarly to search engines, with potential complexities arising as more businesses invest in generative AI tools for tasks like search and advertising.
