OpenAI's ChatGPT Secretly Uses Google Search Data, Despite Denial
Google has allegedly attempted to hinder SerpApi's web crawling activities. Despite this, Google's search index remains vital for online discovery, with even OpenAI's ChatGPT seemingly relying on it for real-time information.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has been using SerpApi, a Google Search scraping service, to enhance ChatGPT's responses on current topics. This revelation comes despite OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's recent denial of using Google Search data for the popular AI chatbot.
ChatGPT's official stance is that it relies on its own crawler, Microsoft Bing, and licensed publisher data for search. However, multiple tests suggest that Google Search data is indeed being used. OpenAI's Nick Turley has also criticized Microsoft Bing for having 'significant quality issues'.
While OpenAI maintains that ChatGPT does not use Google Search data, evidence points to the contrary. Google has reportedly tried to block SerpApi's crawler, and OpenAI's use of SerpApi for ChatGPT suggests a reliance on Google's search index. The implications of this are significant, given Google's dominance in search and the potential impact on users and competitors.
