Recent reports indicate that ChatGPT's search results for news are characterized as 'unpredictable' and often inaccurate. The Columbia Journalism Review highlighted issues such as confidently wrong information, misattributed sources, and a lack of control over the content presented. This criticism is echoed by various media outlets, including The Verge and Clubic, which note that the search engine's performance is concerning for news publishers and raises the potential for misinformation. The overall sentiment suggests that ChatGPT is still far from being an effective search engine, with many users reporting unsatisfactory results.
