OpenAI's search offers a glimpse of what an AI-search interface could one day look like. But it's too impractical as a daily driver right now.

OpenAI says it has signed partnerships with certain news, sports, and weather providers, and generally speaking, ChatGPT search already does a good job here. However, Google still has the edge: It's got its hooks deeper into the web, it covers a broader range of sources, and it presents more information in its results.

OpenAI on Thursday launched ChatGPT search, positioning the company to better compete with search engines like Google, Microsoft's Bing and Perplexity.
