OpenAI's ChatGPT reportedly utilizes SerpApi, a paid web-scraping service, to access real-time Google Search results, according to a recent report by The Information. This practice allows ChatGPT to provide current information on subjects like news and financial markets, despite OpenAI's previous attempts to gain direct access to Google's search index being declined. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has stated that he no longer relies on Google Search, highlighting a complex dependency in GPT's data sourcing.
