It's powered by the GPT-4 model family and is planned to integrate into ChatGPT at some point in the future. SearchGPT is OpenAI’s long-awaited answer to...
ChatGPT is not a search engine, it generates predictions on what is the most likely text completion to your prompt. It does not pull information from a database. It is a mathematical model. Its weights do not contain the training data. It is not indexing anything. You will not find any page from the internet in the model. It is all averaged out and any niche detail is lost, overpowered by more prevalent but less relevant training data. This is why it bullshits. When it bullshits it is not because it searched for something and came up empty, it is because in the training data there simply was not a sufficient number of occurrences of the answer to influence its response against the weight of all the other more prevalent training data. ChatGPT does not search anything.
It is every bit as much of a search engine as SearchGPT, with the exception of more recent information, as I’ve already explained.
it generates predictions on what is the most likely text completion to your prompt.
…using information from the internet. I’m honestly baffled this needs to be explained. Once again, I ask: Where do you think the information it generates comes from? It’s not just word salad, the words contain information. Were you unaware of the many many OpenAI lawsuits based on this fact?
This is why it bullshits.
It bullshits because it’s trained on bullshit, and doesn’t actually know anything, and isn’t programmed to say “I don’t know”.
The information it generates comes from the model. The information from the model comes from the internet. The information it generates does not come from the internet. A to B to C, not A to C. I don’t know how to explain this more simply without crayons, the information from the internet does not exist within the model, but the average of the information can be recreated by the model. That is not what a fucking search engine does. A search engine doesn’t tell you the average results for your query, it gives you the most relevant results. At least, they should and used to. I can understand the confusion if you’ve only used a search engine in the past 3 years.

I rest my case.
