šŗ OpenAI finally released ChatGPT Search.
PLUS: We share our honest thoughts on ChatGPT Search...
Welcome, humans.
Want to see what happens when you ask GPT to āgenerate the most weird thing you can come up withā? Here ya go.
Thereās all kind of weirdness in the threadāwe wonāt spoil it for ya! š
Hereās what you need to know about AI today:
OpenAIās ChatGPT Search is now publicly available.
Meta is also working on its own Google Search competitor.
Claude now has desktop apps on Windows and Macs.
Microsoft is once again delaying its Recall AI feature.
OpenAIās Google competitor is here!
ChatGPT Search, OpenAIās AI search engine, is now live for paid ChatGPT users and is set to roll out to the freebie crowd over the next few weeks.
Weāre just going to go ahead and say it: ChatGPT Search is the biggest launch since ChatGPT (see our early review from July).
ChatGPTās Achillesā heel compared to Google has always been that you couldnāt search for live info (that Bing plugin was a flop...).
Now you canā¦ and itās really good.
Sam Altman even said that ChatGPT Search has ādoubled my usage over the past few weeksā. Biased, yes, but still... wow.
To use SearchGPT, open ChatGPT and click the globe icon labeled āSearch the webā in the chat bar. Or, set it as your go-to search engine in Chrome using this extension.
SearchGPT in action
At this point, we can confidently say that ChatGPT Search is a better way to search info than Google: you receive answers faster and lets you dig deeper without endlessly clicking blue links.
This doesnāt mean Googleās out of the AI search gameāfar from it. Theyāre just stuck dealing with PR messes and weird hallucination glitches.
We know many of you love Perplexity for AI-based searchā¦ and so do we. ChatGPT Search has a similar vibe, with a few notable distinctions:
ChatGPT Search is faster than Perplexity (both free + Pro), and weāve found it to be better for quick facts.
ChatGPT Search is better for currents eventsāitās more up to date and has a lot of partnerships with publishers, though it still hallucinates sometimes.
Perplexity might still be better for in-depth research (ChatGPT Search doesnāt suggest follow-up questions).

P.S. Meta is working on a search engine too. Innovative or just copying the trend? Weāll let you decide. Just donāt ask the Winklevii their opinion...
