OpenAI's ChatGPT continues to evolve with new capabilities. Shortly after introducing support for picture prompts and voice conversations, ChatGPT can now browse the internet to provide the latest and reliable information, complete with direct links to sources. This functionality was briefly available earlier this year before being temporarily removed in July. OpenAI seems to have addressed the issue of users exploiting this feature to access paid content for free.ChatGPT utilizes Bing as its search engine, which isn't surprising given the close partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI. OpenAI suggests that this feature is most useful for tasks that require up-to-date information, such as vacation planning or technical research.
Currently, access to web browsing is limited to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who pay a monthly fee of $20 / £16. Enterprise users have immediate access, while access for others is expected to be available soon. To use this feature, users must select the GPT-4 engine and choose 'Browse with Bing' from the menu. The AI assistant then incorporates information from the web alongside its regular training data.
In testing, ChatGPT successfully provided information about the launch of the iPhone 15 and even linked to a reputable tech website for more details. However, the feature is still in beta and relies on Bing's search results, so it may direct users to relevant websites instead of providing answers for certain queries.
OpenAI's ChatGPT continues to undergo refinements and improvements, and users can expect more enhancements in the future. The article concludes with a list of related articles about ChatGPT and other OpenAI developments.
