OpenAI increased its challenge to Google’s hegemony on Monday by announcing that it is making ChatGPT-powered internet search accessible to all users.
In late October, the San Francisco-based tech company enhanced its ChatGPT generative AI chatbot with search engine capabilities, but only paid customers were able to use the tool.
According to the company, the recently released function allows users to get “quick, timely responses” along with links to pertinent online resources, which was previously necessary when using a conventional search engine.
The AI chatbot can now deliver real-time information from the internet thanks to the ChatGPT update.
In a YouTube video, OpenAI chief product officer Kevin Weil declared, “We’re bringing search to all logged-in free users of ChatGPT.”
