It is an extension of the ChatGPT generative artificial intelligence (AI) interface. The OpenAI organization, which has become a key player in technologies, announced, Thursday October 31, the launch of an internet search engine, in order to position itself as a competitor to Google, a reference in the field. ChatGPT search is available to paying subscribers to the ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Team plans. The search engine will become available free of charge in the coming months.
ChatGPT search, which will be integrated into ChatGPT, allows the software to no longer be satisfied with a finite quantity of data accumulated within a database, as was the case until now. The interface now has the possibility of drawing elements online to respond to requests. “You can get quick, relevant answers with links to relevant internet sources, which previously would have required using a search engine”said OpenAI in a press release.
OpenAI also allows the user to directly search the internet without relying on the ChatGPT interface. “We rely on our (AI) model to determine whether a source provides a good answer to a user query,” a spokesperson explained to AFP. As part of this evolution, OpenAI has entered into partnerships with publishers and data providers “to add updated information”, and offer a specific presentation for certain categories such as weather or sports results.
With ChatGPT search, OpenAI is responding to the new developments of Google, which launched an AI functionality in its search engine in the spring. AI Overviews allows, like ChatGPT search, to obtain a developed answer to a question asked in everyday language. Microsoft has also added AI to its Bing search engine.
