ChatGPT can now access the internet! OpenAI adds more features to rival Google Bard

The craze around the renowned AI (artificial intelligence) tool, ChatGPT refuses to fade away. With ChatGPT receiving a major update, users can browse the web with the AI chatbot.

What’s in store for ChatGPT Plus subscribers?

Owing to the latest updates to the ChatGPT app, users will now have the ability to connect to the internet. This means they can now access up-to-date information and ask questions about recent topics and events, thereby allowing users to tap into the vast pool of information available online and deliver intelligent and insightful answers with the latest facts and figures.

Furthermore, the newest version of GPT-4 will now include over 70 third-party browser plugins, including travel planning sites like Expedia and Kayak, productivity tools like Slack and Zapier, etc. which is expected to enhance productivity through AI-powered assistance. As of now, these updates are only available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who pay $20 per month for premium access to the app.

Additionally, a ChatGPT Plus subscription offers quicker response times, uninterrupted service even during peak hours as well as priority access to new features. Moreover, premium users have a choice between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.

Interestingly, these enhancements follow Google's overhauling of its Bard AI system, integrating it with many of its core products like Gmail, Maps, Search, and Photos. Additionally, Google's Bard is now available for free to users in 180 countries and regions, and doing away with signing up for a waitlist.

As the AI race intensifies with Open AI and Google coming up with their respective AI tools, AI feuds will continue to heat up with global conglomerates competing with each other to make the most powerful and user-friendly AI.
