OpenAI Takes on Google with AI-Powered SearchGPT 🌐🤖 - 🌍NewspaperAmigo

Tech rivalry just leveled up! OpenAI – the minds behind ChatGPT – is testing a new search tool called SearchGPT, designed to challenge Google's dominance. Think of it as AI meets Wikipedia meets your favorite chatbot

The prototype promises to answer queries conversationally (no more endless link-clicking!) while citing web sources. Need to ask follow-up questions? SearchGPT handles them like a human assistant. OpenAI says features from this test phase will eventually upgrade ChatGPT itself.

This comes days after Google rolled out AI-generated \"Overviews\" – text summaries atop search results – sparking debates about ad revenue and the future of web discovery. SearchGPT vs. Google Overviews? It’s the AI showdown we didn’t see coming

OpenAI’s partnering with publishers like The Atlantic to refine the tool. \"AI search must value journalism,\" said CEO Nicholas Thompson. Early testers can join a waitlist, but no public launch date yet.

As Sundar Pichai of Google/Alphabet vows to \"innovate at every layer\" of AI, one thing’s clear: The race to redefine how we surf the web is officially on. Buckle up, internet travelers
