OpenAI has previously announced the development of a search engine powered by artificial intelligence, named SearchGPT – simultaneously positioning it as a competitor to Google and even Bing. For now, SearchGPT is offered on a limited basis to only a few users, but the initial comments of the testers seem to show that SearchGPT is still far from being a Google challenger.
SearchGPT aims to display answers to a search in a simple and organized manner, including displaying links to resources for further reference. Its closest competitor can be said to be Perplexity, in addition to Google AI Overviews itself.
In any case, according to those who have received early access to SearchGPT say that the offer and content of the search results on it is not very good, in addition to experiencing problems with hallucinations, in addition to displaying inaccurate information. This at the same time leads to problems when wanting to position it as a search engine - where it becomes a reference center for various information.
However, it is possible that OpenAI itself is aware of this problem, and chose to offer it in limited access to receive early feedback, as well as improve it day by day.
It's also not yet known how SearchGPT will offer search results for local info, etc. - where the content to train involves less than it involves regular searches.
Let's all look forward to access to SearchGPT to see what it offers to local users in the future.
