  "account": "According to OpenAI's Adam Fry, ChatGPT now handles approximately one-fifth of Google's search query volume. This search volume shift indicates that many people have become frustrated with Google's search results. A Pew Research Center survey revealed that the primary use of AI chatbots like ChatGPT is to search for information, with 42% of American adults surveyed using AI for this purpose. ChatGPT boasts 1.2 billion weekly users, though it remains unclear how many of these users utilize it specifically for informational searches. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has acknowledged the competition from AI chatbots, stating that the market is far from a zero-sum game, similar to the rise of TikTok and YouTube. Despite potential reliability issues with AI-generated information, the shift in user preferences highlights the extent to which Google's search product has deteriorated in recent years.",
