How ChatGPT Became Google's Unlikely Monopoly Lifeguard
In a courtroom drama starring Judge Amit Mehta playing AI referee, Google just dodged a breakup bullet on September 2025 thanks to its frenemy OpenAI and the ChatGPT revolution. The DOJ had dreams of emancipating YouTube and Chrome from Sundar Pichai's Alphabet empire, but Mehta chirped that generative AIāfrom ChatGPT's 700 million weekly users to Google's own Bard using ChatGPT juiceāmakes search competitive again. This would be like Netflix thanking Blockbuster for keeping VHS alive while secretly stealing their tech. The irony? Google panicked when ChatGPT crashed the search party in 2022, yet now rides its wave to stock highs and antitrust freedom. Apple even confirmed itās losing search traffic thanks to AI fever. The judge called AI startups an 'astonishing' funding rushāa Silicon Valley speed dating event threatening old white menās search throne.
