OpenAI has launched a ChatGPT-powered search engine for paid users, enhancing real-time news, sports, and weather access. This feature aims to rival Google and Microsoft offerings with a conversational search experience. Built with input from news partners like The Associated Press, the tool seeks to improve accuracy and reliability. Currently available to ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers, it will be rolled out to all users in the coming months. Concerns from media outlets about copyright infringement continue as the AI landscape evolves.
