For many years, users around the globe have set the Google search engine as the home page in their favorite web browser. However, the search giant now seems to have a serious competitor in this same sense.
The growth of everything related to artificial intelligence lately is beyond any doubt. Multiple companies are launching their own language models and applications to offer the best experience to millions of users. Perhaps one of the greatest exponents in this sector is OpenAI with its popular ChatGPT.
In fact, almost from its launch, the company set itself the goal of becoming the next Google, in one way or another. We tell you all this because now an application has just appeared that could really begin to confront the popular search website, we are talking about ChatGPT Search. As its name makes clear, it is a new search engine based on AI, which aims to revolutionize the world of searches.
Advantages of ChatGPT Search over Google
And we talk about revolutionizing the world of searches because the aforementioned ChatGPT Search offers us multiple advantages compared to what we are used to. The first thing we must keep in mind is that this application is integrated into the ChatGPT chatbot. This allows us to use the search engine as such directly from the web version or the official AI applications.
Without a doubt one of the main advantages is the enormous amount of extended information that it offers us. Based on the search terms, it not only offers us a series of plain text. In addition, we will have multiple information in the form of graphs, images or tables if necessary. In turn, we will get maps, reviews and advice depending on what our query was.
Of course, this is especially evident when it comes to obtaining results about the latest news, weather, sporting events, locating specific places and much more. We could say that it is a 2.0 search engine based on artificial intelligence. Something that we must keep in mind and that the CEO of OpenAI tells us is that this application is based on a special version of the GPT-4o language model.
At the same time, it is worth noting that we can benefit from this search system in conventional conversations with the firm’s chatbot. Simply click on the corresponding button to expand certain information that we discuss here, in real time. At the same time, we will have an extension to use all of this from Chrome that you can go down from here.
Reasons why many will continue using Google
But as often happens in the world of technology, not everything is as pretty as they initially make it out to be. On the one hand, surely many users will continue to prefer the simplicity combined with the power that Google offers us from its website.
And not only that, we must keep in mind that ChatGPT Search is currently only available to ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers. Basically, this means that to benefit from everything we have told you, we will have to pay, unlike what happens with Google. Although the company behind all this promises that one day we will have this search engine at our fingertips in the free AI version, it will still take a while, and it will possibly have limitations.
In short, despite the advantages mentioned above, there is still a long way to go before ChatGPT Search can stand up to Google’s search engine.
