Move over, Google – there’s a new AI sheriff in town. 🤖 OpenAI just turbocharged its ChatGPT with search engine superpowers, letting users get real-time answers and links to web sources without clicking over to traditional search tools. Think of it like ChatGPT swallowed a search engine… and then got smarter. 🧠
The upgrade, rolled out Thursday, turns the chatbot into a one-stop shop for everything from weather forecasts 🌧️ to sports scores 🏈. Paying subscribers can now access tabs linking directly to news, data, and other content from OpenAI’s partner providers. Free users? Don’t worry – you’ll get access soon too. 😎
Visually, the new interface looks like Google’s search results… minus the ads. 📸 But it also mirrors Perplexity, an AI-driven search startup that’s already in hot water alongside OpenAI over lawsuits from The New York Times for using copyrighted content. 📰⚖️
Will this disrupt Google’s 25-year search dominance? Only time (and your ChatGPT queries) will tell. ⏳
