> We’re launching to a small group of users and publishers to get feedback. While this prototype is temporary, we plan to integrate the best of these features directly into ChatGPT in the future.

This is interesting. Right now there is a big distinction between how I use an LLM chat bot and a search engine. I'll have to get used to them being merged into one thing

Yeah it would suck if they decided to add search features into ChatGPT without a way to turn it off. There are lots of use cases for a language model on its own without all the extra noise. I really hope they keep them separate.

I presume that in terms of the OpenAI Assistants API (i.e. what you’d be using if you have a specific “use case”), search will be just another built-in tool (like the code interpreter) that an Assistant can be told to invoke.

(And “SearchGPT” is probably just such an Assistant, with the currently-hidden tool forced on.)
