OpenAI introduces new web search tool to ChatGPT

News: ChatGPT can now search on the Internet to receive up-to-date answers to user requests. Previously, it was limited to generating answers based on its training data and had limited web search capabilities.

Here’s what the industry must do to make AI search sustainable.
