OpenAI finally stopped putting satellites this time-
With the latest release of SearchGPT, the first wave of early adopters have already shown their experience.
According to the blogger who did the test, SearchGPT's response and output speed are highlighted as "fast".

Especially compared to other tools, some people think it's incredibly fast, and I hope it will continue to be the same after opening up.
The implication is that it seems to be fast now, probably because there are fewer people using it.
Of course, this new product has been praised by many people, and some people have called it OpenAI's killer application.
Some netizens have begun to worry about SearchGPT's competitors, speculating that Google must have panicked in the past two days.
Fast and intuitive search results
As can be seen from the test content posted by the blogger, SearchGPT is not only fast, but also very intuitive (no ads yet).
For example, when the blogger asked about the weather in London, SearchGPT directly gave a list that clearly showed the weather conditions for the coming week.
The blogger then went on to ask where the best places in London are for a picnic and when is the right time to go.
I saw that SearchGPT output a lot, listed a lot of parks, and there were photos, and finally suggested that you should avoid crowds on weekdays.
And there is also an image button on the left side of the page, which can be clicked to aggregate and display image search results.
This can also be seen in other questions, such as the stock price graph in the most prominent position when searching for Nvidia stock.
You can even play videos directly from YouTube.
At the same time, this blogger also helped the netizens who left messages in the comment area to briefly test it and asked SearchGPT for the latest version of Apple iOS.
The results first show the conclusion in large print - iOS18 preview, and then detail that the latest official version is 17, and 18 has also begun testing.
If you specify that you are asking about the beta version, then the answer is 18 Beta 4, and you can see more details if you ask for the developer version number.
After reading it, some netizens said that ChatGPT (which should refer to SearchGPT) is becoming a direct multimedia site.
Users can watch videos, display pictures, and read text there, so why do you need another website?
This opens up completely new possibilities for OpenAI.
Even the way to monetize has been thought of for OpenAI:
People's data and interests can be easily taken and converted into the right ads as needed like Google.
If more and more traffic goes through OpenAI instead of Google, it means a revenue shift (search is still Google's biggest source of revenue).
There are also many netizens who have mentioned perplexity, which is also an AI search tool.
In response, bloggers searched for their nicknames with SearchGPT and perplexity, respectively.
As a result, SearchGPT did find the blogger's relevant introduction, while perplexity said that it did not find this person.
In addition, some netizens in the OpenAI community said that they had experienced SearchGPT, and he said that after a simple comparison, he found that the information presentation of SearchGPT is indeed somewhat similar to perplexity, but he tends to show more pictures.
However, in terms of user volume, although Perplexity took away some of Google's traffic, it failed to shake its supremacy.
So, Perplexity has failed to surpass Google, can OpenAI do it?
Netizen: It has a huge impact on Google
Regarding the issue of SearchGPT surpassing Google, there are indeed many people who are optimistic.
For example, some Twitter netizens said that the impact of OpenAI's wave on Google is unimaginably huge.
Even an article in Tom's Guide said that SearchGPT was "the best opportunity to change the search paradigm we have known for 25 years", bluntly saying that Google should pay more attention.
Indeed, compared to Google, this way of displaying search results is more intuitive and more accessible to users.
Moreover, the ad-free feature is also very popular among users.
In fact, Google has been trying to integrate AI into search, but the results don't seem to be very good.
On the one hand, it does not jump out of the shackles of traditional search engines, but only adds AI summaries to the page.
On the other hand, the quality is also really worrying, and the phenomenon of data pollution is serious.
For example, when asked what to do if the cheese doesn't stick to the pizza, Google's AI summed it up with glue......
However, Danny Goodwin, editor-in-chief of Search Engine Land, a media that focuses on search engines, said that all the "Google killers" he has seen in the past 25 years have been "killed" by Google without exception.
Goodwin's attitude towards SearchGPT is that it does have the potential to really challenge Google Search, but the current SearchGPT is still a simple prototype with a very small number of users, and it remains to be seen how the final result will be.
同时Goodwin指出，目前SearchGPT的一大短板是缺少本地和商业化内容（local and commerce content），在这些关键领域落后于传统搜索引擎。
Further, Goodwin believes that if OpenAI can make up for this shortcoming, Google will need to be careful.
In addition to the functional improvements, it is also important to note that SearchGPT is not fully open at present.
Hayley Sutherland, research manager at IDC, an international data research organization, said that when it comes to mass rollout, the speed and accuracy of SearchGPT will be a key factor in determining its competitiveness.
In short, whether OpenAI's bullet can hit Google or not, I'm afraid it will have to fly for a while......
