New ChatGPT plugins will allow the bot to access the internet to make it more reliable

Why it matters: ChatGPT is about to get a "brain" upgrade. A lack of information beyond September 2021 has long hindered the bot. OpenAI has plugins in development that will give it access to more current data and allow it to interact with websites through APIs. No date is set for a stable release, but OpenAi is already taking reservations to try it, so it shouldn't be too long before a wide release. OpenAI announced it is adding plugins to ChatGPT. The implementation will provide several capabilities to the chatbot and other developers using the algorithms.
