Search bar or prompt bar, which one to use?
- 15 Jul 2024

Got a request? There's a bar for that. But Google or ChatGPT?
You see a bar. You type words. But what happens next is totally different.
Like the difference between a writer and a librarian.
One creates, the other finds.
AI prompt bars are for creating.
Think of it like a magic wand.
You tell it what you want, and it makes it happen.
Want a sonnet about how good the bolognese sauce tastes?
Type it in the AI prompt bar.
Want a picture of a dinosaur with a unicorn head?
Type it in the AI prompt bar.
Google search bars are for finding.
It's a library.
You tell it what you need, and it shows you where to find it.
Want some facts ?
Type it in the Google search bar.
Want to learn about a biography ? To find a good restaurant ?
Type it in the Google search bar.
So, next time you see a bar, think about what you want to do.
Do you want to create something new?
Or do you want to find something existing?
Choice is yours.
