No, ChatGPT 4 is not connected to the Internet or has any connection to external data sources. However, ChatGPT has other artificial intelligence platforms that do contain Internet access, such as Google's AI chatbot, Bard AI, which contains GPT-4 and has Internet access available. With add-ons, you can access the entire Internet. Users can install add-ons on their ChatGPT to allow them to access the outside world.
Now you can interact with up-to-date, real-world data to perform various tasks for you. The GPT-4 version of ChatGPT now finally has the ability to connect to search for information and other data sets on the Internet. A chatbot with open access to the Internet can be dangerous, a fact that OpenAI knows. OpenAI says it will prioritize a small number of developers and customers in its ChatGPT Plus premium plan before offering access on a larger scale and to the API to ChatGPT users and developers who are in the queue.
Available in alpha version for ChatGPT users and waitlist developers, OpenAI says it will initially give priority to a small number of developers and subscribers to its ChatGPT Plus premium plan before implementing larger-scale access and to the API.
