Who is working on WebGPT / Copilot for Google search?

Question

Often when I look into things, I'll do some google searching (with 'reddit' appended to the end of the search, of course), read a bunch of reddit posts, look at which comments and posts seem legit, combine that into an assessment of what product I want to use (if it's a product research question) or what the answer is (if it's a general question).This seems pretty possible with a GPT powered tool, now.You could ask it a question, it then performs a bunch of searches, checks the results, assesses the results, and puts the most relevant stuff into a one page report.I'm guessing a few HNers are working on this.Who is working on it, and does anyone have a demo we can play with?

And what makes you think that a GPT model can be better than a 20 year old search algorithm? I mean seriously, at what point exactly did you convince yourself that GPT is actually intelligent and can assess anything?You're missing too many variables and focusing too much on what you want without realizing what is actually possible.

This is pretty much what the new Bing is. Currently waitlisted. Stability AI is also working to get LAION to this capability but who knows how far away. Maybe some other ones too?
