TECH NEWS – This is where Alphabet, the parent company of Google, will be worried, because OpenAI is coming up with a promising new product after ChatGPT.

OpenAI has been the driving force behind the artificial intelligence craze that took the tech industry in a whole new direction with the launch of ChatGPT: a human-like chatbot that provides constantly evolving responses. But the company, which has also benefited from Microsoft’s investment, is not resting on its laurels, and is now trying its luck in a market that has largely been dominated by Google. Search engines powered by artificial intelligence

ChatGPT has been able to use a large language model (LLM) to provide relevant, coherent information for sophisticated queries, so it’s no wonder that the public has been waiting a long time for the company to compete in the search engine space. Until now, Google, Microsoft, and Perplexity have offered augmented search engines. The technology is currently only available to 10,000 users as it is still being tested, but it is planned that OpenAI will eventually bring search functionality to ChatGPT.

Launching the search engine as a prototype is a good idea because it means that not everyone will run into major bugs in the early stages. This is what Google did when it came up with extremely stupid results for AI summaries. SearchGPT is trying to provide real-time information about the Internet through a summary, and will also provide source links for queries. You can then ask more questions and get coherent information in response.

“Answers have clear, inline, named attribution and links so users know where information came from and can quickly engage with even more results in a sidebar of source links,” OpenAI wrote in a blog post, hoping to connect users with the source owners. It is also working with online publishers (such as Reuters) to create an economic system that benefits producers and publishers of quality content.

According to OpenAI, publishers will be given the opportunity to see how their answers will appear in the SearchGPT results. Exciting.
