OpenAI Enhances ChatGPT with Plugin and Web-Browsing Support

OpenAI has announced the addition of third-party plugins for ChatGPT, which are tools designed for language models with safety as a core principle. The move has been seen as a signal of OpenAI's ambitions to turn ChatGPT into a developer platform, similar to Apple's App Store. The first plugins have already been created by companies including Expedia, Instacart, Kayak, OpenTable, and Zapier. The update represents a major milestone in the development of AI chat as a platform for accessing and interacting with the internet.
