OpenAI has introduced a new AI search engine, called SearchGPT, which could directly challenge Google’s dominance in online search. This new tool, announced on Thursday, combines OpenAI’s advanced AI technology with real-time web information, allowing users to search and get answers in a conversational style similar to ChatGPT.
Currently, SearchGPT is being tested with a small group of users, but OpenAI plans to integrate it into ChatGPT later. Unlike Google, which has led the search market for years, SearchGPT provides up-to-date information and links to relevant sources, unlike the often outdated data from ChatGPT.
The new search engine aims to make finding information easier and faster, showing answers in a natural language format. This could also pose a challenge to Microsoft’s Bing, which has used OpenAI’s technology to try to compete with Google.
SearchGPT could change how people find information online, potentially making traditional search engines and their links less important. However, OpenAI has stated that it is working with publishers to ensure their content is used fairly and can still be found in SearchGPT, even if it’s not used to train the AI.
