It seems like there’s a new player in the search engine arena, and it’s powered by ChatGPT.
With the ongoing battle between Google Gemini and Microsoft’s ChatGPT heating up, rumors are swirling about a potential unveiling of a ChatGPT-driven web search platform on May 9. This development could pose a significant challenge to Google’s search dominance.
A keen-eyed Reddit user noticed the creation of SSL certificates for the domain search.chatgpt.com. Additionally, a tweet from an AI podcast host hinted at a May 9 launch date for “Search (dot) ChatGPT (dot) com.” The subdomain currently displays a mysterious “Not found” message, fueling speculation further.
While details remain scarce, the prospect of OpenAI launching a search engine seems strategically sound. Despite being a major investor in OpenAI, Microsoft has struggled to rival Google’s search supremacy with Bing alone. Recent reports suggest that OpenAI has been working on a search product, potentially powered by Bing.
These developments suggest that the launch of this ChatGPT-based search engine could be imminent. If the rumors are true, the new platform may offer AI-driven summaries and quick results akin to Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE).
With May 9 just around the corner, we’ll soon find out what OpenAI has up its sleeve. In the meantime, we’re curious to hear your thoughts on the prospect of a ChatGPT-powered search engine.
