I asked it the current weather in my area and the temperature was off by 23 degrees F.

What the hell did you ask it / what was the source? I just did the same thing and it gave me the correct answer and used my countries best known meteroligcal site?

Looks like this was timed to coincide with Google adding search grounding data to Gemini API: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42008834 // https://developers.googleblog.com/en/gemini-api-and-ai-studi...

The new web search icon appeared for me straightaway in the ChatGPT macOS desktop app, within an in-progress conversation, without even having to restart. Before I'd even seen this official launch announcement. Very smooth!

AKA Bing Search in ChatGPT. So it is not it's own search engine and is still using Bing for its results just like the rest of them.

If it's better than Bing or Google in presenting the relevant result in a condensed way, it's still a win for the users.

Why would i want condensed results ? Why Do you think i would want to have a condensed version of this post [0] for example.

Can confirm that free users who signed up for the waitlist can use it right now (even if they didn't actually get in)

To my mind one of the great benefits of LLMS is the possibility of searching without handing over some of the most personal information that exists - your search history.

I’m happy OpenAI is advancing LLM-based search but I won’t be using it in earnest until it’s local.

OpenAIs press release game is unreal. This totally overshadowed Google’s grounding release in my feeds.

https://chatgpt.com/?hints=search (handy link to it)

That link just takes me to what looks like a normal chatgpt prompt. (I tried asking it the same things they showed in the article and I just get generic AI answers, not web search results.)

Are you plus or team user and logged in? The link is to the normal chatgpt prompt, but with the "Search" button enabled.
