openai version ai search is finally here!
reported on July 26 that early this morning, openai released a new ai search engine searchgpt, which is claimed to be a "new search method" that combines the advantages of the ai model with real-time network information to make it faster and easier Find what users are looking for.
This AI search tool is long overdue, and related news has been overwhelming before. Openai uses AI to challenge traditional search, which is obviously aimed at its old rival search giant Google.
As always, the searchgpt just released by openai is just a "future". It is only available for internal testing to a small number of users. It is not known when it will be publicly available.
What is dramatic is that in the examples shown, openai made the same mistake that Google had made before - there were a lot of dazzling errors in the sample answers, and it turned over.
Let’s briefly talk about the characteristics of searchgpt:
1, conversational search, search is as simple as chatting.
2, high-quality content, each search structure is attached with a source link, and results from authoritative publishing houses are given priority.
3, contextual memory, allows AI to remember the previous key information, understand the context, and give more relevant replies.
also has a "visual answers" function, the details of which have not yet been announced. It should be possible to obtain content such as charts and videos in the search answer, and may be combined with the sora video generation function. It is not yet certain whether the visual answer comes from existing content on the Internet or is generated by AI.
openai shows the search process of searchgpt step by step on the official website:
enter a question in the search box, such as "music festival held in boone in August", and you will enter a simple search page.
searchgpt uses the latest information from the web to quickly and directly respond to user questions. Each graphic answer is followed by a clear link to the relevant source.
Click the "Link" icon on the left side of the page to see a clear list of information source links.
Users can also continue to ask for more information in the search box.
Just like the previous conversation functionality, a shared context is built with each query. For example, you can first search for "the most suitable tomato varieties for planting in Minnesota" and then ask "which types can be planted now", searchgpt will actively combine the previous response situations to give accurate results.
openai emphasizes that its search results are characterized by "highlighting high-quality content", highlighting reliable original content citing and linking publishers in searches.
These responses have clear, inline, named attribution and links so users know where the information comes from and can quickly engage with more results in the sidebar with source links.
As a result, the big pie drawn by openai has not been widely known, and the examples it released have "overturned" first.
The sharp-eyed cnbc technology reporter has discovered several errors. He clearly asked about the "August Boone Music Festival". According to the results given by searchgpt, the Appalachian Summer Music Festival ended on July 27, and the Jones House Music Festival was held. It was June, and there was a music festival that was held closer to Asheville, and it took a few hours to drive to Boone...
openai's face was slapped.
Regardless of whether the content is of high quality or not, with such a high density of error responses, it cannot even pass the basic accuracy level...
In addition to launching the searchgpt prototype, openai also launched a method for publishers to manage them in searchgpt. method of display so publishers have more choices.
openai emphasized that searchgpt is related to search and is separate from the basic generative AI model for training openai. Some websites opt out of generative AI training, and they can also appear in search results.
is currently still in the testing phase of searchgpt. It is a temporary prototype and is only open to a small number of users and publishers to collect feedback.
openai plans to integrate the best of these features directly into chatgpt in the future. Users interested in trying the prototype are asked to sign up for a waiting list.

Openai spokesperson Kayla Wood told the technology media The Verge that the service is powered by the GPT-4 series model and was only open to 10,000 test users at the time of release.
The industry has been looking forward to openai, a new AI search tool. However, the functions currently displayed by searchgpt are novel, but they are still far from replacing traditional search.
and large models have been criticized for unreliable content generation, and now it seems that even openai has not been able to solve it.
But in any case, the entry of openai has indeed made the smoke of "ai search vs. traditional search" smell stronger.
