OpenAI is upgrading ChatGPT with a new search feature to rival Google and AI startups like Perplexity, according to Bloomberg. The feature will allow users to ask questions and receive answers with information pulled from online sources, potentially including citations, diagrams, and more dynamic content.

The expansion into search functionality is a response to increasing competition in the AI sector, where search capabilities are crucial. OpenAI aims to set a new standard for interactive AI systems by integrating search directly into ChatGPT, offering users a comprehensive tool for information retrieval and task assistance.

The possibility of a search feature by OpenAI has generated excitement online, with speculation fueled by a briefly active URL, search.chatgpt.com. Currently, web search is limited to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and offers basic information like weather updates, though improvements for real-time data accuracy are needed.
