And this is the way Silicon Valley works. Move fast, disrupt things, get in trouble and figure out how to pay some fines or license fees. Some might say that asking for forgiveness first and not permission is a dubious method. While others might say, it’s the best way to disrupt stagnation. Now that people are loving using AI, and the amount of open source tools, the genie is out of the bottle! And we march brave into the future…
OpenAI has just inked a multi-year deal with Condé Nast, the publisher behind big names like Vogue, Wired, and the New Yorker. This partnership means that content from these brands will now be integrated into OpenAI’s products, including ChatGPT and a new search engine called SearchGPT. The financial details of the deal weren’t disclosed, but it’s clear that OpenAI is making moves to incorporate high-quality content into its AI offerings.
OpenAI’s SearchGPT, launched in July, is an AI-powered search engine that provides real-time information from the internet. This new deal allows SearchGPT to pull information and quotes directly from Condé Nast articles, enhancing the search results with reliable and well-curated content. Brad Lightcap, OpenAI’s COO, emphasized the company’s commitment to maintaining accuracy and integrity in news discovery and delivery.
How It Works
SearchGPT uses AI to scan the internet and deliver real-time information. With this partnership, it can now include content from Condé Nast’s extensive archives. Users interacting with ChatGPT or SearchGPT will get access to high-quality articles and quotes from trusted sources like Vogue and the New Yorker, making their search experience richer and more reliable.
