Google has been a fixture in the search world for years. Even though it faces competitors such as artificial intelligence-based Bing, it has not lost its first place. However, new reports have revealed that OpenAI is working on a ChatGPT-based search engine. In this context, a release date was also given.

ChatGPT-based search engine may be released on May 13

OpenAI is preparing to rival Google’s search dominance. The company is allegedly preparing to launch its own artificial intelligence-powered search service on Monday, May 13. Accordingly, it was stated that the company will organize an event on May 13.

The timing of the announcement is quite remarkable. Google will launch its annual developer conference on May 14. Google I/O 2024 is expected to highlight Android 15 and innovations in search. However, OpenAI seems to want to distract attention beforehand.

It is not yet clear how the search service to be developed by OpenAI will work. However, it is expected to be based on ChatGPT and provide information directly from the internet in response to user queries. This means it will be similar to Google Search but powered by artificial intelligence.

ChatGPT has actually been seen as a Google alternative since its launch. However, it gave inaccurate answers to queries because it lacked the ability to search the internet directly. It is worth noting that Microsoft has integrated GPT-4 into its Copilot tool.

OpenAI says that more than 100 million people in 185 countries use ChatGPT weekly. These are staggering numbers for an 18-month-old service from a company that many people had never even heard of two years ago.
