Reports Suggest OpenAI in the Works on Web Search Product to Compete with Google!

There is a rumor going around that OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, might be working on a new web search tool to compete with big names like Google and Bing. A recent report from The Information suggests that OpenAI’s tool could be built on top of Microsoft’s Bing search engine.

Even though OpenAI hasn’t officially confirmed this, their work on improving ChatGPT’s knowledge and browsing abilities hints that they’re moving towards a more conversational style of search. The report suggests that this new tool could either be part of ChatGPT’s premium features for subscribers or a separate product.

OpenAI teaming up with Bing makes sense, considering Microsoft’s big investments in OpenAI. Microsoft has already used OpenAI’s technology in Bing and Copilot. By combining their strengths, OpenAI’s search tool might offer a smarter way to search, focusing more on understanding context rather than just keywords and links.

However, it’s not guaranteed that people will switch from Google to this new AI-powered search. Microsoft has tried similar things before without much success.

Even though people are used to using Google for search, OpenAI’s technology opens up new possibilities. But changing habits can be tough, especially with something as basic as web search. Still, OpenAI’s ambitions show that traditional search might be evolving.
