ChatGPT Search: Google Killer or Censorship Upgrade?

OpenAI officially launched ChatGPT Search on September 1st, 2025 – an AI-based search engine that directly challenges Google. But while the tech world speaks of “revolutionary search,” a critical question arises: Will ChatGPT Search democratize information or establish the most subtle form of censorship we’ve ever seen?


🔍 What ChatGPT Search Promises – and Conceals

The Official Story:

  • “Natural conversation” instead of keyword search
  • “Summarized answers” from multiple sources
  • “Context-aware” search across multiple questions
  • “Real-time data” from the web (not just training cutoff)

The Unspoken Implications:

OpenAI controls not only what you find, but how you interpret the information. Every answer is already pre-filtered, summarized, and “optimized” – but according to what criteria?
