ChatGPT adds real-time web browsing feature to compete with Google Bard

With a significant update to the ChatGPT app from OpenAI, users can now use the AI chatbot to browse the internet.

The extremely well-liked tool, which reached 100 million users in record time just two months after its launch in November 2022, was trained on a dataset that ended in 2021, severely restricting its capabilities in comparison to some of its more recent competitors.

The new web-enabled features allow ChatGPT users to obtain up-to-date information and ask inquiries about current events and topics.

Access to more than 70 third-party browser plugins, including travel planning websites like Expedia and Kayak, as well as productivity tools like Slack and Zapier is another one of the new features.
