OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Search to all free users; how is it different from Google Search

OpenAI has announced the expansion of its ChatGPT-powered internet search to all users, a move that intensifies competition with Google’s long-standing dominance in the search engine market.

The San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company had introduced search capabilities to its ChatGPT platform in October last year, though this feature was initially restricted to paying subscribers. The latest upgrade now makes the tool accessible to free users, allowing them to access up-to-date information with links to relevant sources, directly competing with traditional search engines.
