Reimagining Search: How ChatGPT is Turning My Mac into an AI Powerhouse
The future of internet searching might just be arriving, and it’s looking a lot like ChatGPT. While Apple is building its own AI future with Apple Intelligence, it’s OpenAI’s ChatGPT app that’s currently winning me over, especially since its recent update brought powerful web searching capabilities right to my Mac.
Visualizing Questions: From Sketches to Images
ChatGPT excels at understanding. In fact, wanting image generation, voice commands, and dedicated problem-solving, and the 4o model doesn’t disappoint. Need to visualize something specific for a project? Ask detailed questions,

ChatGPT delivers. While AI-generated imagery is still prone to occasional oddities, it’s impressive how quickly ChatGPT can understand nuanced requests, and you can always refine your prompt for optimal results.

Supercharging Problem Solving: When You Need More Depth
, and sometimes, you need to tap into serious horsepower. For those times, ChatGPT provides an option to access its o1 model, designed for complex tasks like cracking math problems, coding, and tackling science-heavy questions.
I don’t often need to dive that deep, but it’s reassuring to know that level of tailored processing power is at my fingertips. Usually, though, the standard 4o model is more than capable.
Google Killer: Can ChatGPT Really Reclaim My Searches?
I’ve been increasingly dissatisfied with Google. Its pairings have become unreliable, its results often irrelevant or contradictory.
