The Big Reveal
ChatGPT, your friendly AI buddy, is now capable of scanning the enormous expanse of the internet for real-time information, according to OpenAI. They claimed with pride that ChatGPT can directly deliver responses straight from "current and authoritative" sources, all of which are painstakingly cited.
This new tool, aptly named "Browse with Bing," is currently available only to those with Plus and Enterprise subscriptions. Still, OpenAI has generously assured the masses that it will soon be available to all users.
The Familiar Players
Before you get too enthusiastic, you should be aware that ChatGPT is not the only player in this game. Microsoft's Bing Chat, Google's Bard, and even Meta (previously Facebook) are already experimenting with live online information retrieval. It's a race to see who can get your data the fastest, and it appears that Bing is the chosen steed for the time being.How to Summon the Web-Savvy GPT
Getting ChatGPT to go on a web-searching adventure may not be as simple as it sounds. OpenAI provides instructions for the internet version, but the iOS app is left in the dark. Fear not, daring explorer; I have traversed this desert and emerged victorious.If you're a subscriber, take the following mystical steps:
- Firstly, open the three-dot menu you will see at the bottom left of your screen
- Now, in this menu, you will see the option of "Settings." Click on that option
- Now that you have entered the settings, the option of "New Features" will be shining on your screen. Tap or click on it
- Now comes the most anticipated feature, "Browse with Bing," tap on it
- Start a new chat, then press GPT-4 and choose "Browse with Bing."
The Art of Fact-Checking
One might wonder why this feature is such a game-changer. Well, for starters, it allows you to fact-check your AI companion. Gone are the days of blindly trusting AI's every word. When ChatGPT offers an answer, you can now compare notes by clicking on the link to the source. Finally, those AI-generated assertions may be put to the test.I have found, thanks to an obscure website called MediaMass, that AC/DC may be working on a new album in secret. I can now confirm or refute this exciting piece of information using the power of fact-checking. Who knew AI bots were prone to hallucinations?
The Rollercoaster Ride
It's not all sunshine and rainbows in the world of AI web browsing. OpenAI initially introduced the ability to surf the internet within the ChatGPT iOS app in June, only to pull it back swiftly. Why? Users had figured out how to cleverly coax the chatbot into revealing otherwise paywalled content by feeding it direct URLs. Crafty, right?OpenAI didn't just sit back and watch; they took action. They created a fancy-sounding automated crawler that now identifies itself as a user agent. What does this imply? It enables websites to remember ChatGPT's presence and either warmly welcome it or politely ask it to leave.
These websites can now alter their Robots.txt file to allow or restrict ChatGPT access. It's as if there's a virtual bouncer at the door selecting who gets in. So, who’s excited now?
The Decision
To summarize, OpenAI's "Browse with Bing" feature for ChatGPT is a huge step forward in the field of artificial intelligence. It adds a whole new layer to fact-checking and gives you, the user, the ability to hold AI accountable for its assertions.While the rollout might have had a few hiccups along the way, it's clear that OpenAI is committed to delivering a valuable and trustworthy AI experience. So, go forth, explore the web with ChatGPT, and remember, the truth is just a click away!
