ChatGPT has the ability to receive updated information over the internet to provide more comprehensive information to its users. Previously, ChatGPT's knowledge base was based on data up to September 2021 and was deficient in providing information on current events and developments thereafter.
OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, noted that the platform already has the ability to scan the web directly. This allows ChatGPT to provide users with more up-to-date and accurate information. For example, when information is requested about a product introduced in November 2021, ChatGPT will be able to transmit accurate and up-to-date information thanks to this new capability. It also offers the potential to provide users with the latest information on current activities such as vacation plans, bike tours or any topic.
This feature is currently only available to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise subscribers, but OpenAI is reportedly planning to roll out this feature to all users in the near future.
Users are advised to select ChatGPT's GPT-4 language model and enable "Browse with Bing" to test this new feature. This allows ChatGPT to browse the web in real-time using the Bing search engine.
