OpenAI is reportedly working on a search feature for ChatGPT

OpenAI is developing a search feature for ChatGPT that could rival Google Search, according to Bloomberg. This new capability would allow the chatbot to fetch web-based answers with proper citations. The feature could include images in responses where relevant, enhancing the utility for queries needing visual aids.

Earlier reports by DataChaz indicated a new subdomain for this feature, though it's currently inaccessible. As competition heats up with Google expanding its AI search capabilities and startups like Perplexity emerging, OpenAI's move into AI-powered search appears to be a strategic step to maintain its competitive edge.
