However, Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, stated during a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing on AI in May that, despite some advantages of ChatGPT, it will “probably not” replace Google. As more players have entered the AI race in the last year, it remains to be seen how it will play out.

OpenAI has removed a feature that made shared ChatGPT conversations appear in search results. The "short-lived experiment" was based on the chatbot's link creation option. After complaints, OpenAI's chief information security officer, Dane Stuckey, said the company is working to remove the chats from search engines.

When you start a conversation with ChatGPT, you don't expect the bot to share your chat with Google. As it turns out, you might've given it permission to do just that.
