OpenAI recently introduced ChatGPT Search, a search engine feature within its chatbot that allows users to receive real-time answers to queries, such as sports scores, breaking news, and stock quotes. This service has shifted ChatGPT to already become more like Google search, and in turn like Google’s AI tools.

OpenAI is working on a web browser that could compete with Google Chrome, The Information reports. The ChatGPT-maker has reportedly hired ex-Google developers such as Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher, some of the developers who worked on the original Chrome project.
