Northeastern expert expresses skepticism towards AI-powered search engines like OpenAI's SearchGPT. OpenAI has clarified that the SearchGPT prototype is a temporary tool intended to be integrated into ChatGPT. The launch of SearchGPT, a web search tool developed in collaboration with notable publishers such as The Atlantic, Vox Media, and News Corp, marks OpenAI's latest move in competing with Google. This tool provides direct answers, including attributions and web links to sources, for various queries ranging from weather forecasts and global headlines to concert details and recipe ingredients.
