OpenAI’s revolutionary chatbot, ChatGPT, has been taking the world by storm since its launch in November 2022. The chatbot has made waves in the industry, having hit 100 million users in just two months of launch. As if the excitement of its launch wasn’t enough, OpenAI has recently unveiled a major update – the addition of web integration to ChatGPT.
The update has allowed users to browse the internet using ChatGPT, presenting new opportunities in terms of capabilities. OpenAI has released 8 updates since its launch, all focusing on introducing multiple new features to the chatbot, demonstrating the continuing progress of its development.
This specific update is especially significant for ChatGPT because previously, its training dataset that had been utilized ended in 2021. This meant that, in comparison to competing artificial intelligence chatbots that had been trained on more up-to-date datasets, ChatGPT could easily become obsolete. However, with the new web-enabled capabilities, ChatGPT can now source accurate, timely, and relevant information from across the web, making it a formidable competitor among chatbots.
