Although it is currently limited to Plus and Enterprise users, the function of being able to query information online under GPT-4 is enabled through “Browse with Bing”. However, OpenAI clearly mentioned that this will break through the original limitation of online database query at the end of 2021, and will come to all users “soon” in the future. Continue reading is no longer limited to 2021 old data. ChatGPT will open the real-time information online query function to all users in phases.

No longer limited to 2021 old data, ChatGPT opens the real-time information online query function to all users in stages
Although OpenAI has actually been open to ChatGPT Plus before, it breaks through the previous ability to only learn and query network data before September 2021. However, it is a pity that they chose to suspend this degree of freedom, suspected to be due to related issues and mechanisms such as paywalls.

Obviously, with the continuous development of various AI chatbots, if ChatGPT does not quickly correct the relevant mechanisms and bring back the networking function. Perhaps the first-mover advantage will no longer exist. Perhaps because of this, ChatGPT recently announced that starting from today, it will return “Start” to the related functions of browsing the Internet.
“Browsing is available to Plus and Enterprise users today, and we’ll expand to all users soon. To enable, choose Browse with Bing in the selector under GPT-4(瀏覽功能現已對 Plus 和 Enterprise 用戶提供,我們將很快擴展至所有用戶。要啟用此功能,請在 GPT-4 下的選擇器中選擇 ‘使用 Bing 瀏覽。)”
Yes, although it is currently limited to Plus and Enterprise users, the function of being able to query information online under GPT-4 is enabled through “Browse with Bing”.
However, OpenAI clearly mentioned that this will break through the original limitation of online database query at the end of 2021, and will come to all users “soon” in the future. I believe that by then some friends who are worried about the security of ChatGPT plug-in will be able to use the simpler ChatGPT web browsing function with peace of mind (should… although it feels that using Bing AI should be similar, the experience is still different).

Although basically this is not unexpected for the ability to collaborate with Microsoft Bing, a good partner who has successfully hyped up the hot topic of LLM large language models with OpenAI. However, I am personally curious about when OpenAI will be willing to extend the actual learning materials of language models to a later date.
Although seriously speaking, it is unknown whether large language models can really become smarter by accepting a wider range of data, and whether the effect is really good – and even have to bear the risk of changes in stability.

However, I believe that even AI-related topics seem to have subsided slightly at this stage. However, all parties around the world should still be very concerned about OpenAI’s next step for this technology.
Recently, ChatGPT began to support the same picture and voice recognition functions for Plus and Enterprise users. At this pace, OpenAI’s next strategy should be ready to come out, right?
