An artificial intelligence-driven search engine has just been added to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Approximately 10,000 users and publishers tested out the search engine called SearchGPT. OpenAI announced that the new feature will be released “over the coming months.”

The key features of SearchGPT include providing a summarized description of websites, attributing links instead of linking directly to the website, a sidebar with related links and giving users the option to ask other questions.

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI created SearchGPT to compete with Google. Supposedly, OpenAI was planning SearchGPT even before plans for Gemini AI were announced by Google. OpenAI has also been partnering with newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Associated Press and more. This helps OpenAI train their AI models.

There’s a lawsuit filed against OpenAI by the New York Times. The New York Times claimed that ChatGPT could imitate their writing style. The lawsuit persists.
