Unveiling the Power of AI Search: SearchGPT vs Meta AI

SearchGPT vs Meta AI: See what you can do with AI search today

Artificial intelligence or AI is revolutionizing how we search for information online. In this article, we will compare two major AI models: SearchGPT and Meta AI Search.

SearchGPT by OpenAI

SearchGPT is OpenAI’s ChatGPT with an added online search feature. Inquirer Tech recently got access to SearchGPT after joining the waitlist. Let's explore the capabilities of AI search with these latest models!

When testing an online search query on November 1, the writer asked, “What did President Duterte say recently?” Meta AI search provided a brief response, mentioning that the former president confessed to operating a “death squad” and citing BusinessMirror PH as the source. On the other hand, SearchGPT presented a more detailed answer with references from The Times, AP News, Philstar, and Reuters.

Comparison of SearchGPT and Meta AI

The writer further evaluated the ability of SearchGPT and Meta AI to read and summarize content from websites. While Meta AI struggled to fulfill some requests, SearchGPT excelled in summarizing an article about an AI system that monitors plants' water needs and pruning requirements.

These results suggest that SearchGPT is more dependable as a research tool compared to Meta AI. It offers a wider range of sources and can summarize them individually, aiding in report writing.

Enhancements in AI Models

SearchGPT and Meta AI have evolved beyond simple chatbots with the introduction of online search functions that generate content from web sources. When asked to create a song in the style of December Avenue about “inihaw na liempo” (grilled pork), Meta AI composed a Tagalog song in the band’s fashion, complete with chords and a brief description. In contrast, SearchGPT offered a song and description but lacked a chord progression.

On the image generation front, Meta AI stands out with its Animate feature, allowing for animated images. This comparison between SearchGPT and Meta AI highlights the different strengths of each model: SearchGPT is ideal for research tasks, while Meta AI is more user-friendly.

Accessibility of Meta AI

Meta AI is available on platforms like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Users can initiate a search by typing “@Meta AI” or selecting the option. In comparison, OpenAI’s search bot is currently accessible only through the waitlist.

As you wait for access to OpenAI’s SearchGPT, you can explore and utilize Meta AI in the meantime for your AI search needs.
