OpenAI has advanced ChatGPT by incorporating a built-in search engine, a feature that aligns the chatbot more closely with traditional search engines like Google.
This new tool allows users to access up-to-date information directly within ChatGPT, eliminating the need for a separate search engine.
Users now see linked sources for various topics, including sports updates, stock prices, and breaking news.
The update is currently available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and will soon roll out to free-tier users.
This integration is designed to offer a streamlined experience by presenting results without ads.
OpenAI has also invited content creators to participate in refining this search feature, which offers them an option to be visible in ChatGPT’s results.
This enhancement aligns with OpenAI’s ongoing growth strategy, following recent investments from tech giants like Microsoft.
The company’s valuation has soared, signaling its aim to become a major player in the AI and internet landscape.
