Who says ‘Google Search is dead’, ChatGPT found ‘Googling’ to answer users’ queries and …
Despite aiming to replace Google Search, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been using its Search data to respond to real-time queries, says a report by The Information. According to it, OpenAI’s AI chatbot ChatGPT relies on SerpApi, a paid web-scraping tool, to pull results from Google Search. This allows the chatbot to answer questions on fast-moving topics such as news, sports, and financial markets—areas where OpenAI’s own systems fall short.
As per the report, OpenAI was previously listed as a SerpApi client, but that reference has now been removed. Other clients reportedly include Meta, Apple, and AI search startup Perplexity.
