🤖 ChatGPT Opens Up Features
PLUS: The Shifting Landscape Around Google Search

What's up? You're reading Inclined AI. Monday mornings suck, but this newsletter makes it better.
Here are the headlines today:
OpenAI wants every ChatGPT Plus user to have plugins and browsing
Google Search is undergoing change and competition

GPT-4 plays Minecraft on Twitch
OPENAI RELEASES THE FLOODGATES IN RESPONSE TO GOOGLE’S PUSH
Every ChatGPT Plus user is refreshing their browser with hope glimmering in their eye.
On Friday, OpenAI announced releasing the Plugin and Browsing features to paying users. People were craving the chance to try these tools, and it’s finally happening.
The move is strategic.
Google made a Titan-size leap when they unveiled a slew of AI features at their I/O event. It’s enough of a jab to make Microsoft and OpenAI nervous.
ChatGPT is enjoying the throne, but they captured a swath of attention by being the first on the pile. Then, they played it safe by slowly rolling their special tools to the waitlist.
That move costs them.
The chickens come home to roost, and we all get plugins because of it.
Every Plus user will get access by the end of this week. But the Code Interpreter tool is not a part of this rollout.
It’s a quick reaction that shows OpenAI could’ve pushed this out sooner but didn’t for caution and procedure. The heat from a competitor made them wake up and realize someone would eat their lunch if they didn’t move.
This competition is for distribution and eyeballs. No one wants to get caught slipping again.
If you're looking to become a ChatGPT expert, we've got you covered with “Mastering ChatGPT | From Zero to Hero”.
It’s an interactive Notion Dashboard infused with incredible AI tips and tricks.
It's packed with 50 awesome chapters and 10 hours of content, all carefully curated to help you level up your skills. Plus, you'll have access to over 1000 AI Tools and Prompts, so you can dive deep into AI and become a real ChatGPT Hero.
And the best part? You get lifetime access and weekly updates, saving you over 500 hours of research.
IS GOOGLE SEARCHING CHANGING US OR CATCHING UP WITH US?
The startup sharks are swimming toward the blood in the water. Google Search looks vulnerable in the new wave of AI innovation.
But the narrative is more complicated than that.
The new generative AI search features opening up on Google Labs are an encouraging sign, but everyone noticed they want advertisers to keep the top billing.
For years, Google fell behind thanks to SEO-optimized empty blogs and over-saturated search pages decked out in ads. It requires an advanced degree to find a chicken noodle soup recipe that isn’t buried in some crappy blog.
If Google was going to lose its market share, there’s been plenty of ball drops to warrant it.
They didn’t look vulnerable then, but the competitors want you to believe they are now.
The numbers don’t make sense. Imagine the average person going to Google; that’s the majority of search queries on the internet.
ChatGPT has only made a small dent in web traffic and users compared to Alphabet’s behemoth of a balloon.
If a general user sees a generative AI answer in their Google search, they will think it's incredible. They won’t seek a better option.
The best doesn’t always win, but Google catching up to what we want from search is a good thing. You can ask the questions that you ask ChatGPT and get similar responses (maybe even more useful since you can scroll results, too).
The demos at the I/O event give us hope, but the ads at the top and underwhelming answers are unnerving.
It won’t be perfect today, but tomorrow…?
