OpenAI is set to challenge Google and other AI search startups by adding a search feature to ChatGPT, allowing users to ask questions and receive responses with citations from sources like Wikipedia and blog entries, along with visual aids like diagrams. This move aims to enhance ChatGPT’s capabilities in a competitive market.

The decision to enter the search engine space aligns with the industry trend towards integrating AI into search experiences, seen with the success of Perplexity and Google’s upcoming Gemini AI models. OpenAI’s move underscores the importance of search functionality in chatbots and the increasing competition in the AI market.

Details on the user interface of the ChatGPT search engine are yet to be revealed, but it is expected to adapt to different devices. Comparisons can be drawn to Microsoft’s Copilot, which combines GPT-4 with Bing search, offering insights into how ChatGPT’s search engine may operate across desktops and smartphones.

Speculations are fueled by OpenAI’s registration of a new domain name for a “ChatGPT search engine” and the discovery of a webpage hinting at an imminent launch. While no official announcement has been made, reports suggest a potential challenge to Google’s search dominance, with influencer posts hinting at a rumored launch date around May 9.

As OpenAI gears up for a potential launch of the ChatGPT search engine, it poses a significant threat to Google’s market dominance, currently holding about 90% of the search market share. With Microsoft’s Bing following closely behind, the integration of GPT-4 into Bing showcases the intensifying competition in the search engine and AI space.
