OpenAI Brings Web Search Back to ChatGPT

Leading artificial intelligence firm OpenAI announced today that users of its ChatGPT generative AI tool will again be able to generate answers to prompts that search the web for the latest information. It’s a revival of a powerful feature that was removed from the service in July because it was being used to bypass paywalled content.

The search capability will be handled through the Bing search engine in a partnership with Microsoft, which is a major investor in OpenAI.

Editor’s note: this is a developing story and will be updated periodically to reflect the latest information.
