Lets check out how to internet-connect ChatGPT and see its responses for a few prompts.
ChatGPT is the most used AI tool, as perStatista.
The one thing it couldnt do until now is browse the internet like its counterpart, Google Bard.
OpenAI took care of that drawback in May 2023.
This browsing feature allows the users to get the latest information along with the citations for further use.
Now, ChatGPT scrapes the internet for a response if needed.
Lets give it a few prompts and see it in action.
However, its first and third references incorrectly gave the crown to The Super Mario Bros.
The thing is, these results (first and third reference) were a few months old.
And the fact that it couldnt check and present the results accurately sheds light on its limitations.
Actually, its pretty much how web browsing works.
Results get old, which can also lead to false information.
So, while it can present information from the World Wide Web, ChatGPT cannot guarantee its legitimacy.
Prompt 2
I cross-checked the information, and there was no error in this response.
Prompt 3
ChatGPTs response was again to the point.
Lets try a more difficult query.
Besides, there is no citation for this inaccurate information.
ChatGPT is clearly telling us not to trust its AI 100%.
Never would I have thought it would come to this where Bard outperforms ChatGPT like this.
But its clear that ChatGPT isnt as fine-tuned for browsing as of now.
Not Impressive!
I had high hopes before starting this article about ChatGPT going live.
But I guess I should give it some time.
At present, the web browsing experience can be shockingly poor.
Even so, if you cant resist trying its browsing feature, double-check…always.
On a not-so-side note, here are a few morethings Bard is better than ChatGPT.
