OpenAI is making ChatGPT better with a new search feature. This feature is being tested with some users in the U.S. It helps ChatGPT give real-time answers and links when people ask questions. OpenAI has also made tools for coding, videos, data, and pictures since ChatGPT started in 2022.

People are excited about AI chatbots for searching because Google is so big in this area. Google controls most of the world's search traffic. After OpenAI's news, Google's parent company, Alphabet, saw its stock go down a little. Other companies are also working on AI search tools, but Google is still the leader.

AI technology uses a lot of energy, which worries some people. News companies are also concerned because they rely on search traffic for money. OpenAI wants to work with publishers to make sure everyone benefits. They are creating tools to help publishers control how they show up in search results.

Group or Classroom Activities

Warm-up Activities:

– CHARADES
Instructions: Divide the class into small groups. Each group takes turns acting out words or phrases related to the article (e.g., β€œAI”, β€œsearch”, β€œChatGPT”, β€œGoogle”). The other groups guess what they are acting out. This helps students practice vocabulary through movement.
– OPINION POLL
Instructions: Prepare a few questions based on the article, such as "Do you think AI chatbots will replace Google?" or "Are you excited about AI technology?" Students walk around the room asking their classmates these questions and recording their answers. This encourages speaking and listening skills.
– WORD ASSOCIATION
Instructions: Start with a word from the article, such as "search". Students take turns saying a word that they associate with the previous word. For example, "search" could lead to "Google", which could lead to "internet". This helps students practice vocabulary and think quickly in English.
– SKETCH IT
Instructions: Give students a specific term from the article (e.g., "AI", "ChatGPT", "publisher") and have them draw a quick sketch of it on the board. Their classmates must guess the term based on the drawing. This activity promotes creativity and reinforces vocabulary.
– THINK-PAIR-SHARE
Instructions: Pose a question to the class, such as "What do you think about the impact of AI on jobs?" Students first think individually, then pair up to discuss their thoughts. Finally, each pair shares their ideas with the class. This promotes discussion and helps students practice speaking.
