Review
Based on user experiences and feedback, it has been observed that relying on ChatGPT4's internet search function can be hit or miss.
While there are numerous Twitter threads showcasing successful searches, it is not always guaranteed to provide accurate or desired results. ChatGPT4 may encounter difficulties in performing the search and may simply abandon the task without generating any content. As a result, users will then request ChatGPT to re-perform the task. Each additional request will count towards the 25-message limit imposed by the v4 model architecture.
If you require internet searches or need the latest news, we suggest utilizing Google's Bard. Bard works best for information retrieval and is more adept at conducting web searches and gathering relevant information.
Once you have gathered the necessary information using Bard, you can seamlessly transition to ChatGPT for any follow-up tasks, further exploration, or generating responses based on the retrieved content. By utilizing this two-step approach, you can harness the strengths of both models, ensuring a more effective and accurate experience when dealing with internet searches and subsequent interactions.
