Launched by OpenAI in November 2022, ChatGPT has undoubtedly been a powerful and interesting tool ever since, but it had one very serious shortcoming. The last date ChatGPT learned was September 2021. Because OpenAI last trained this artificial intelligence on that date. So ChatGPT knew nothing about current events. Now this barrier is being removed because ChatGPT can now access the internet.Critical step from ChatGPT
OpenAI announced that ChatGPT in
The company announced that this feature is now available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and ChatGPT Enterprise users. If you are using these versions, you will need to click on the GPT-4 option at the top and select the “Browse with Bing” option. The company said that it will open this feature to all users soon.
This essentially means a return to web browsing for ChatGPT. In March, when OpenAI released ChatGPT third-party plugins, it also announced two of its own: Code Interpreter (which has since been renamed “Advanced Data Analysis” and allows ChatGPT to accept uploaded files) and the web-based Microsoft Bing API. “Browsing”, which uses a text-based browser to search and summarize information for users
But within days, OpenAI disabled the crawling feature because users could use the feature to bypass major news publishers’ paywalls. OpenAI has even made it possible to block GPTBot using robot.txt so that it cannot crawl your website.
However, it should also be noted that Bing Chat has been providing internet access with the ChatGPT-based model since its inception. It is no surprise that the option to browse with Bing comes thanks to the partnership with Microsoft. Additionally, the new scanning feature comes just two days after OpenAI announced voice-over chat capabilities, including scanning and analyzing images, analyzing user-uploaded audio, and speaking back to the user with a generated voice.
Google has never been more at risk
The other day, I prepared an article about Google on its 25th anniversary. In the content I prepared regarding Google’s success, we mentioned that history could repeat itself. At the end of the content was the following paragraph: “Twenty-five years ago, at the dawn of a different internet age, another search engine began to struggle with similar problems. This search engine, thought to be at the top and praised for its advanced technology, suddenly faced an existential threat. A young company has created a new way to find content.”
The company facing an existential threat above was AltaVista. Now we see similar signs for Google.
