New Delhi, May 6: OpenAI, the innovative artificial intelligence (AI) company, has been reportedly working on a new project and might soon introduce the ChatGPT search engine. The ChatGPT search engine is believed to merge the functionalities of a web search engine similar to Google search with the generative AI capabilities of ChatGPT. 

As per a report of Indian Express, OpenAI's imminent ChatGPT-powered search engine could take on Google search. The rumors of a possible launch are gaining attention with several reports suggesting a launch date of May 9. The company has registered a new domain name, “search.chatgpt.com”. When a user poses a question, the ChatGPT search engine is expected to deliver a result that will likely include AI-generated content and relevant web pages. The search result might offer users an AI-summarised overview of all available web information along with the primary sources. ChatGPT Memory Feature Rolled Out for Paid Users by Sam Altman-Run OpenAI; Know How It Works and How To Use It.

The user interface of the ChatGPT search engine may differ depending on the device. On a desktop, the web results and AI summary might be displayed side-by-side, while on a smartphone, the search results might appear one after another. By introducing a search engine, OpenAI could compete with Google's dominance in the search market. The ChatGPT search engine, if it is launched is likely to generate a new revenue stream as most search engines do by including advertising. ChatGPT Lacks Potential in Assessing Heart Risk, AI Chatbot’s Predictions in Cases of Patients With Chest Pain Are ‘Inconsistent’, Says Study.

Google currently dominates the search engine market with approximately 90% market share, with Microsoft Bing following in second place. Google has also been experimenting with AI features for some time. As per a report of Search Engine Land, OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has expressed interest in combining large language models (LLMs) with search but focused on not just replicating Google Search but finding better ways to help people find information on the web.
