OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman said in a recent interview that ChatGPT will not replace search engines, but he believes that AI systems may be able to do so in the future.

Altman pointed out that ChatGPT is still in a very early stage. He believed that ChatGPT would be successful when he started it, so although he was a little surprised by the scale of the response, he did hope and expect that ChatGPT would be popular and loved by people. (Fortune)
