ChatGPT's New Horizon Web Navigation On Par With Google Bard

Published on October 5th, 2023

ChatGPT has recently integrated real-time internet browsing capabilities to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of its responses.

This feature, akin to Google Bard, has been made possible through integration with Microsoft Bing.

Previously, ChatGPT’s responses were confined to its knowledge base, which was last updated in September 2021.

With its newfound ability to access the entirety of the web, ChatGPT is poised to provide more informed and current assistance to users across a spectrum of tasks, including but not limited to car purchasing, vacation planning, and technical research.

OpenAI has announced that internet browsing is presently accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users, with plans to extend this capability to all users in the near future.

OpenAI has now implemented measures to mitigate such issues with this latest update.

In a separate recent development, ChatGPT has been equipped with voice capabilities, allowing users to engage in verbal conversations with the AI, akin to interactions with platforms like Google Assistant or Alexa.
