ChatGPT can now search the web, as OpenAI races to keep up with rivals

OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta have been scrambling over each other to announce updates and new features to their generative AI products over the last several weeks. Many of the new tools are still making mistakes, showing the pressure the companies are under and their need to get people to use the tools to generate new data and improve their performance. OpenAI's latest announcement came on the same day that Meta announced a new chatbot of its own that could also search the web using Bing.
