OpenAI’s ChatGPT is taking the work of a web search engine to the next level by integrating it directly into their chatbot. This new feature will allow ChatGPT to search the Internet for answers for users and provide a list of the sources used. The technology company aims to enhance the capabilities of their chatbot by incorporating a search engine that will rival the offerings of Perplexity and Google.
This development is not the first time OpenAI has delved into the realm of search engines. In February, ‘The Information’ reported on the creation of this service, which was initially thought to be an extension of the ‘Browse with Bing’ feature, partially powered by Microsoft’s search engine. However, OpenAI has now decided to take it a step further and integrate this functionality directly into ChatGPT.
With this new feature, users will be able to ask ChatGPT questions and receive responses with information sourced from the Internet. The responses will also include citations to allow users to verify the information’s origin. This information comes from a source familiar with OpenAI’s plans, as reported by Bloomberg.
OpenAI believes that this new feature will enable their chatbot to become an even more valuable tool for businesses and individuals looking for quick and accurate answers online. It also shows that OpenAI is committed to continuously improving its products and services to better meet user needs.
