Sam Altman says he can't remember the last time he used Google

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, recently shared an intriguing revelation during a dinner with reporters: he hasn't used Google in quite some time. In a candid moment, he stated, "I don't use Google anymore. I legitimately cannot tell you the last time I did a Google search," according to The Verge's Command Line newsletter. This statement highlights the growing competition between OpenAI and Google in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. It's likely that Altman relies on his own creation, ChatGPT, for information instead of turning to Google. Despite this rivalry, OpenAI has partnered with Google Cloud, along with other major players like Microsoft and Oracle, to enhance the computational capabilities of ChatGPT. Google CEO Sundar Pichai expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration during the company’s recent earnings call, emphasizing the open nature of Google Cloud and its commitment to supporting innovative companies and AI initiatives. In related news, OpenAI has just launched GPT-5, the latest iteration of its language model. Altman touted GPT-5 as a "major upgrade" and a significant advancement toward achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). He noted that users would no longer have to switch between different models for various tasks. However, the backlash following the release led OpenAI to reintroduce GPT-4, underscoring how reliant some users had become on it. Both OpenAI and Google have not yet provided comments on these developments.
