Report: ChatGPT search is vulnerable, can easily mislead users


A report from the UK’s Guardian newspaper recently discovered that by inserting “invisible” but digitally-readable text onto special websites it created, it could manipulate what ChatGPT did once it had scanned the page. — AFP

When OpenAI revealed it was launching its own search engine, it was very clear that the market-leading AI brand had designs on eating Google’s lunch.

Think about it – having more traditional “search” features that allow users to look up more complex or more up-to-the-minute information than the chatbot itself has within the chatbot ChatGPT environment helps keep users inside the app instead of seeking out rivals. In the future, this potentially allows more revenue to flow to OpenAI through ads or partnerships.
