Now ChatGPT will have live access to all the public information on the internet

The artificial intelligence tool used to only have access to data up until September 2021.

CHATGPT IS SOON to be able to search all information on the internet live, OpenAI has announced.

The artificial intelligence tool used to only have access to data up until September 2021, meaning it could not provide information on current affairs or new discoveries. The update will change this, broadening the scope for how AI can be used, and adding to concerns for industries that see it as a threat.

However, the update is currently only available to some users, while OpenAI, the owner of ChatGPT, promises all users will have access soon.

The company wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, yesterday: “Since the original launch of browsing in May, we received useful feedback. Updates include following robots.txt and identifying user agents so sites can control how ChatGPT interacts with them.

“Browsing is particularly useful for tasks that require up-to-date information, such as helping you with technical research, trying to choose a bike, or planning a vacation.

“Browsing is available to Plus and Enterprise users today, and we’ll expand to all users soon. To enable, choose Browse with Bing in the selector under GPT-4.”

GPT-4 is an advanced version of the search engine that has the ability to solve written problems and generate original text or images from user descriptions. Enterprise users get priority access.

Plus users pay €22.99 for access to GPT-4, as well as faster responses and plugins like code interpreters. 

Following the announcement, OpenAI creator Sam Altman posted to X saying: “We are so back.”

The CEO has been called “the Oppenheimer of our age” for his invention, which has become a concern for many governments, as well as sectors such as education and media.

    Well done, Chris! Half a million people with difficulty reading and writing is a shocking figure for a country of 4.6 million people. As you say, a lot of people don’t even know that their literacy problem isn’t unique. The cement of solidarity in this country has always been historically low compared to other developed EU15 countries.

    Well done, Chris! What a terrific article – full of hope for all those who have literacy difficulties. I have no doubt that you have encouraged some to ask for your help they need. You should be really proud of yourself for all you have and will continue to accomplish since you have fought the fear and put the work in and succeeded in what you set out to do. It’s lovely too that you are now a teacher helping others who experienced similar situations to yourself.

    Well done Chris for all your hard work and for getting to that place where you able to share your story. I have worked as a literacy tutor for fourteen years and I know exactly the feeling you shared with us when you describe the change in a persons confidence and self belief. I will share your inspirational story with my students, thanks and good luck in the future.

    Not to worry.
    Nobody yet knows the trail which the self replicating molecules led to us.
    Those self same mecules invented death.
