  • OpenAI has unveiled its Google rival, SearchGPT.  (Tech Crunch)

    Kill it with fire.
    OpenAI seems to have taken note of the blowback and says it’s taking a markedly different approach. In a blog post, the company emphasized that SearchGPT was developed in collaboration with various news partners, which include organizations like the owners of The Wall Street JournalThe Associated Press, and Vox Media, the parent company of The Verge. "News partners gave valuable feedback, and we continue to seek their input," Wood says.
    Kill it with fire and sow the ground with salt.
    The rapid advancements by OpenAI have won ChatGPT millions of users, but the company’s costs are adding up. The Information reported this week that OpenAI’s AI training and inference costs could reach $7 billion this year, with the millions of users on the free version of ChatGPT only further driving up compute costs. SearchGPT will be free during its initial launch, and since the feature appears to have no ads right now, it’s clear the company will have to figure out monetization soon.
    Though maybe if we just wait a bit they'll encounter the delicious salty fires of bankruptcy.

5 Are they saying SearchGPT was created by committee effort?  That bodes well, or something.

6 Rick C.,
Indeed!  Thinking machines that can't think!  What'll they fail at thinking of next?
