Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, Robert and Haley explore OpenAI’s new ChatGPT search, which lets users access the latest web information directly within their chat. Now, ChatGPT goes beyond general AI responses by pulling in up-to-date news, sports scores, weather, and even maps with references to credible sources. We discuss how this tool aims to make information-seeking more conversational and immediate—no more bouncing between search engines and browser tabs!

We also cover the publisher partnerships behind this update, which includes heavyweights like Vox Media, Le Monde, and Axel Springer. What does this mean for journalism, and how could it impact the reach and reliability of online content?

Plus, Robert and Haley break down the new citation system in ChatGPT that provides links and references to original articles, making it easy for users to go straight to the source. This episode dives into the tech underpinnings as well: How OpenAI’s o1 series models and synthetic data techniques are setting the stage for deeper research capabilities.

If you’re curious about how AI-powered search is changing the way we get information and what’s next in the search landscape, this episode is for you!
