OpenAI has officially announced the launch of SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine prototype designed to challenge Google's dominance in the online search market. Backed by Microsoft, SearchGPT aims to provide users with fast and timely answers, backed by clear and relevant sources. The prototype is currently being tested with a select group of 10,000 users and will eventually be integrated into ChatGPT. This new search tool combines OpenAI's advanced AI models with real-time web information, offering a conversational interface and clickable links to original content. The announcement, reported by Financial Times, has already impacted Alphabet's stock, which saw a significant dip following the news.
