Bing, since its release, was never taken seriously, I feel, at least not when compared to Google. Now with ChatGPT implemented and the potential to further integrate OpenAI into the Bing-sphere, do you think it has a serious chance to challenge Google?
I think from a branding standpoint alone it's not conceivable.
They can definitely take a niche sub-section of searchers, they already have some. But to actually take a large junk away from Google, I don't personally think so.
Bing is at the end of jokes and judgement. Think about the green-text judgement that Android has because of Apple's iMessage.
"If I see a green text pop up, I'm not talking to them"
It's been said and will continue to be said. The same goes on in my opinion with Bing.
"Google it" is a common phrase for finding out information, I don't know about you but whenever someone's replaced Google with an alternative search engine, it's always made me do a double take.
"Just Yahoo it", "Just Bing it"
It feels odd like something's off. It's also only happened about a handful of times in my whole life. So much so that it sticks out.
For that reason alone I don't see Bing really challenging Google.
That's just my opinion though and it's been great to read what everyone else has had to say so great question @aaronoleary

Hello Aaron! I’d be suggesting that by supporting ChatGPT in the Bing Microsoft strengthens its position within Office line of products for enterprise (where Edge is a part of the package). Google’s position with office productivity is not too bad but the company is really having a hard times keeping up with the pace of competition.
As to overall search space, I’d not be putting to much on ChatGPT Edge vs Google search, even though the quality of search by Google has been falling for years.
I think the bifurcation and competition is really exciting, but it's going to take a lot to break consumer habits even if their search is much better.

Hard no.
Thinking that Bing will replace google because it has integrated AI based chat bot into results is entirely overlooking why google is and has been superior in search.
Flat out, Bing’s shortcomings in search are not related to its ability to respond to people’s queries or questions accurately.

I registered for waitlist. I’m a Google user but I support the diversity. I’ll switch to bing when I got my invite, I always love Microsoft products
I think it can definitely challenge it but whether it will be successful at it remains to be seen. Google is a giant thanks to its really sophisticated technology and large user base, it's difficult to see anyone give them a run for their money.
But I also believe in 'never say never' so we will have to wait and see.

beta tested it. I am never going back to Google search again. Big now also replaces books that I would buy and youtube videos I would view to learn about specific technologies

I really hope it is... Google has been a monopoly for too long

Definitely

it depends, it is hard to change people's habits.
But in the overall view, ChatGPT and Google have different audience segments.
