OpenAI is getting ready to reveal a new AI-powered search tool, taking on the big player Google. This announcement, set for Monday, is a big move in the competition between the two tech giants.
This new search product is an expansion of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a chatbot that uses advanced AI to respond like a human. It will allow ChatGPT to fetch information directly from the internet, along with citations. This means users can get accurate info right from ChatGPT.
People have been seeing ChatGPT as an alternative for finding stuff online, but it’s had trouble giving real-time and accurate info. OpenAI had earlier teamed up with Microsoft’s Bing for some features, while Google has been adding its own AI tricks to its search engine.
Another player in this field is Perplexity, a startup worth $1 billion. It was started by a former OpenAI researcher and has its own AI-based search tool, attracting millions of users.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT once had a huge user base, but it’s been a bumpy ride lately. They’re trying to regain their popularity, especially after retiring a feature called ChatGPT plugins in April. Now, with this new search tool, they’re aiming to win back users and stand out in the AI search game.
