The worst news for Google; OpenAI unveiled SearchGPT search engine

After a relatively successful interaction with ChatGPT for a long time, users should now see a new service from OpenAI; The SearchGPT search engine is, as expected, an AI-based engine.

SearchGPT search engine is designed in such a way that instead of providing a list of links like traditional search engines, it categorizes the results with short descriptions and images. For example, if a user is looking for information about music festivals, this search engine will provide brief descriptions of the events with links to more details. In another example, for example, SearchGPT describes how to grow tomatoes before showing you the varieties.

This search engine also has special features such as “Visual Answers”. However, we still do not have detailed information about the functionality of this feature. The SearchGPT user interface starts with a large text box that asks the user, “What are you looking for?” and attempts to present the results in an organized and conceptual manner.

Challenges facing SearchGPT and OpenAI

The Perplexity startup was launched with the support of Jeff Bezos with the aim of summarizing texts and content on the Internet. But Perplexity has come under fire for summarizing stories from Forbes and Wired without citing the source.

Aware of this and in response to these criticisms, according to OpenAI, publishers can choose not to use their content to train OpenAI models, but at the same time, to be displayed in SearchGPT’s search engine results. This action itself means that OpenAI with SearchGPT intends to enter into a direct competition with Perplexity.

Integration with ChatGPT

OpenAI plans to integrate SearchGPT’s search engine features into ChatGPT after gathering initial feedback from users. This action can improve the user experience and enable a faster and more accurate search. OpenAI spokeswoman Kayla Wood noted that the service will be powered by the GPT-4 family of language models and will be available to 10,000 users at launch.

The unveiling of SearchGPT as a prototype shows that OpenAI has fully learned not only from the mistakes of other companies but also from its own old mistake. If you remember, the AI ​​Overviews feature was infamous for its weird and funny answers like using glue to bake a pizza. But the prototype of the SearchGPT search engine makes it possible for OpenAI to make an excuse in case of a big mistake.

Cost of SearchGPT search engine

It seems that this company wants to market its new search engine for money. Of course, SearchGPT search engine is not paid at first and will be available for free.
