Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. [I] Until recently, ChatGPT was mostly restricted to generating answers from its training data, which is current up to October 2023 for GPT-4o. [II] However, the chatbot’s developers has an exciting announcement that promises to change this. [III] ChatGPT can now search the Internet in response to queries about recent information such as sports, stocks, or news of the day, and can deliver rich multi- media results (pictures, videos, etc.). [IV] While the new search feature is initially available to paying customers, OpenAI intends to make it available for free later, even when people are logged out. The company also plans to combine search with its voice features and Canvas, its interactive platform for coding and writing, although these capabilities will not be available to users in upcoming updates. OpenAI is the latest tech company to debut an AI-powered search assistant, challenging similar tools from competitors such as Google, Microsoft, and startup Perplexity. Meta, too, is developing its own AI search engine. As with Perplexity’s interface, users of ChatGPT search function can interact with the chatbot in natural language, and it will offer an AI-generated answer with sources and links to further reading. Meanwhile, Google’s AI Overviews offer a short AI-generated summary at the top of the website, as well as a traditional list of links. Despite its enhanced ability, the tool is not free from the tendency of AI language models to make things up or get it wrong. When some users tested the new search function and asked it for vacation destination ideas, for example, ChatGPT suggested “luxury European destinations” such as Japan, Dubai, the Caribbean islands, Bali, the Seychelles, and Thailand. It offered as a source an article which listed these locations as well as those in Europe as luxury holiday options. There is also a risk that misinformation might seep into ChatGPT’s answers from the internet if the company has not filtered its sources well enough.
