OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, made an exciting announcement on Wednesday. The renowned artificial intelligence program now has the capability to browse the internet independently, marking a significant milestone in its development.
In a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, OpenAI stated, “ChatGPT can now browse the internet to provide you with current and authoritative information, complete with direct links to sources. It is no longer limited to data before September 2021.” This update enables ChatGPT to offer users up-to-date and reliable information from the web.
The company also mentioned that they received valuable feedback after introducing browsing capabilities in May. Based on this feedback, OpenAI has made updates to the program, allowing it to search the web and deliver useful information to users.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, expressed his enthusiasm for this new feature in his own post on X, stating, “[W]e are so back.” Altman’s excitement further highlights the significance of ChatGPT’s enhanced browsing capabilities.
This latest feature comes on the heels of OpenAI’s recent announcement regarding ChatGPT’s ability to engage in conversations with users and understand visual content. Through voice and image capabilities, the program now offers a more intuitive interface, opening up new possibilities for interaction.
In a blog post, OpenAI explained some of the potential use cases for these enhanced capabilities. Users can snap a picture of a landmark while traveling and have a live conversation about its interesting features. Additionally, they can take pictures of their fridge and pantry to determine what to cook for dinner, even receiving step-by-step recipes. Parents can also utilize ChatGPT to assist their children with math problems by taking a photo, circling the problem, and obtaining helpful hints.
The voice conversation feature will be launched for Plus and Enterprise users next week. Peter Deng, the vice president of consumer products at OpenAI, stressed the importance of this addition in attracting more users to the platform. He stated, “One of the hardest jobs is taking that amazing technology and translating it into the simplicity that the next 300-400 million people are looking for,” emphasizing the ongoing efforts to make the program more accessible and user-friendly.
