    Hell, I am paying for ChatGPT so that it does internet search for me and summarizes the results for me

    Does ChatGPT even do this? I thought it was trained on a closed data set from 2021. While it can learn new things through conversation, it doesn’t actually search the internet anymore. Right? It’s literally just predictive text on your phone. It’s supposed to make you feel like it’s answering you but it’s all smoke & mirrors.

      The paid version does that. The data set is expanded to sometime in 2023 and it actually browses internet when needed using bing as search engine. It does lots of other interesting things, such as uses Dall-E to draw images when needed, or uses python and executes the code in background when needed (but you can check it). For example, if you ask a numerical question that requires solution of equations, it will do it in python. An example of such question I recently asked is “at what temperature the value in Kelvin and Fahrenheit is the same?”
