OpenAI Launches Bing Search and DALL-E 3 for All ChatGPT Subscribers
OpenAI officially brings real-time Bing search capabilities out of beta for all Plus and Enterprise users, alongside a new beta integration of its DALL-E 3 image generator.
OpenAI officially launches its Browse with Bing feature for all ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise subscribers, removing the need for users to toggle a beta switch in their settings. This update resolves the chatbot's historical limitation of being confined to data up to September 2021, allowing it to function effectively as a real-time search engine. The release follows a temporary removal of the feature after ChatGPT displayed paywalled content, but OpenAI fixes the issue by ensuring the system now strictly adheres to website Robots.txt files.
In addition to web search, OpenAI transitions its DALL-E 3 text-to-image generator into beta, exactly one month after its initial debut. The new version features deep integration with ChatGPT, meaning the AI handles the heavy lifting of crafting precise text prompts so users do not have to. Consequently, users receive generated images directly within their text-based conversations without needing to switch between different applications or interfaces.
These combined updates represent a significant shift for ChatGPT as it evolves beyond a simple text-based generator into a multimedia platform. By incorporating real-time web browsing and native image generation, OpenAI creates a more comprehensive and versatile assistant. Users can easily activate the new image capabilities by selecting the DALL-E 3 (Beta) option from the GPT-4 tab on both web and mobile platforms.
