OpenAI announced on social media platform X that ChatGPT users can now browse the internet for real-time information through the “Browse with Bing” feature, currently available to 'Plus' and 'Enterprise' subscribers. OpenAI plans to roll out this functionality to all users in the near future. In addition, this new browsing capability allows websites to manage how ChatGPT interacts with their content.
Notably, prior to this update, ChatGPT's training data only extended up to September 2021. This new enhancement now allows ChatGPT to access the latest information on the web, greatly expanding its capabilities to perform tasks like booking flights, making reservations and ordering products online.
