ChatGPT has Now Access to Browser with Updated Information

OpenAI's ChatGPT is once again able to explore the internet and is no longer constrained to the data until its training date, which is September 2021. Currently, only Plus and Enterprise users may use the new functionality using GPT-4, but OpenAI pledges to make ChatGPT's web surfing capabilities available to all users.

"ChatGPT can now search the internet to provide you up-to-date, reliable information along with links to the original sources. It is no longer restricted to information gathered before September 2021.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said "we are so back" in response to ChatGPT's resurrected surfing capabilities on X. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT's surfing capabilities can be useful for jobs that call for current information, such as technical research, trip planning, or gadget selection.

ChatGPT's browsing features are available through an extension called "Bing Browser". Interestingly, Microsoft's AI-powered Bing offers free browsing, as does Google's Bard, ChatGPT's biggest competitor to date.

Separately, ChatGPT iOS users  received an update to offer web browsing in June, but the company soon had to discontinue the feature after users started using chat to access paywall content.

ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise can enable browsing with Bing  in the GPT-4 selector. Similarly, the ChatGPT mobile app can access the new feature by going to Settings, clicking on New Features and selecting Browsing with the Bing extension. Key features of ChatGPT

Earlier this week, OpenAI also announced several new features for the company's popular chat app. After its latest update, ChatGPT now has the ability to respond to user queries with five different voices, giving it strong competition from tech giants like Apple and Google's voice assistants.

In addition, OpenAI uses GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 multimodal features to improve ChatGPT image understanding. Users can now upload one or more images to ask ChatGPT questions, such as examining the contents of the refrigerator to plan a meal or analyzing a complex graph of work-related data.
