OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT search, a feature that allows users to search the web for answers to their queries. This search model utilizes a fine-tuned version of GPT-4o, which is designed to provide context-aware responses. However, reports indicate that the search results from ChatGPT closely mirror those generated by Bing, particularly in terms of the web sources presented. For instance, when users searched for Windows 11 wallpapers, the results were linked to Microsoft’s Bing resources. The similarity in outputs suggests a strong reliance on Bing, especially given Microsoft's significant investment in OpenAI. While OpenAI has acknowledged the use of third-party search providers for generating answers, it has not disclosed the specific extent of this reliance. This connection raises questions about the independence of ChatGPT search results and their potential bias towards Bing's offerings.
