OpenAI takes on Google Search, unveils AI-powered SearchGPT

We all are going to witness a new entrant in the worldwide search engine market as the maker of ChatGPT, OpenAI declared the launch of its new AI-supported search engine called SearchGPT. As per the report, currently, the company is testing a prototype of new search features that will be developed to join the strength of our AI models with data from the web to provide users with faster and well-timed results with clear and appropriate sources. So far, SearchGPT will be accessible to a small set of users and publishers to receive feedback. 

Nevertheless, though this prototype is transitory, the company aims to integrate search competencies straight into ChatGPT. With the launch of a new AI-powered search engine, OpenAI is all set to contest with search engines such as Bing Search, Google Search, and others. 

As per OpenAI, at present, users will need numerous attempts to receive the appropriate answers for their search queries. The maker of ChatGPT will improve the conversational abilities of its models with simultaneous data from the web, to make search quick and easy. OpenAI has said in a social media post that SearchGPT will directly reply to users’ queries with the latest information from the web much faster while providing them precise links to pertinent sources. 

"Getting answers on the web can take a lot of effort, often requiring multiple attempts to get relevant results. We believe that by enhancing the conversational capabilities of our models with real-time information from the web, finding what you’re looking for can be faster and easier," the company said in a blogpost.

The maker of ChatGPT, OpenAI has also joined hands with other publishers to provide them an option to control how they appear in SearchGPT so that publishers will have more choices. Notably, it is important to know that SearchGPT is all about search and it is distinct from training OpenAI’s generative AI foundation models. The company has said that sites will surface in search results even if users decide to opt out of generative AI training.
