With its new AI-powered web search functionality, ChatGPT is taking on Google head-on. Paying subscribers can now take advantage of this feature directly in their browsers by making ChatGPT their default search engine via an extension available for Chrome.
OpenAI has launched its ChatGPT search tool, currently available only to Premium subscribers (currently ChatGPT Plus, and soon Edu and Enterprise). However, it should be available to all users in the coming months. The idea is to launch a web search via ChatGPT, in natural language. You then get an answer that is supposed to be reliable and, above all, fully sourced. This can be anything from the latest news to sports results or weather forecasts.
