OpenAI tests ChatGPT-powered search engine that could compete with Google
OpenAI, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company, is experimenting with a ChatGPT-powered search engine that has the potential to rival search giant Google. This development could impact the flow of internet traffic, especially for users seeking news and timely information.
The company announced on Thursday that it is rolling out a preview of the SearchGPT feature to gather feedback from a select group of users and publishers. This move signifies OpenAI's entry into the competitive landscape of AI-driven search engines.
In a similar vein, Google made waves in May by introducing AI-generated written summaries at the top of its search results. These summaries are designed to provide quick answers to users' search queries, reducing the need to click on external links for additional information. However, Google's transition was not without flaws, highlighting the challenges of relying heavily on AI chatbots for information retrieval.
It is worth noting that Microsoft, a key partner of OpenAI, is also experimenting with AI-generated summaries on its Bing search engine, further intensifying the competition in this space.
