OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Search to all free users; how is it different from Google Search
Live MintOpenAI has announced the expansion of its ChatGPT-powered internet search to all users, a move that intensifies competition with Google's long-standing dominance in the search engine market. Kevin Weil, OpenAI’s chief product officer, said in a video statement posted on YouTube,“We’re bringing search to all logged-in free users of ChatGPT. Answers feature cited web sources, a presentation reminiscent of Perplexity, another AI-driven search engine, and are notably free of the advertising clutter often found on platforms like Google. Adam Fry, OpenAI’s ChatGPT Search product lead, added,“We’re really just making the ChatGPT experience that you know better with up-to-date information from the web. We’re rolling this out to hundreds of millions of users, starting today.” Unlike some rivals, OpenAI has chosen not to launch a standalone search product, instead embedding the feature seamlessly within the existing ChatGPT experience.
