Sam Altman says he doesn't think the world 'needs another copy of Google' because 'that's boring'

Mar 19, 2024 - businessinsider.com
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has stated that he is not interested in competing with Google in the search engine market, calling such an endeavor "boring." Instead, Altman is interested in finding a better way to help people find, act on, and synthesize information. He made these remarks while responding to comparisons between OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's search engine.

Meanwhile, Google has been facing challenges with its chatbot, Gemini, which has been accused of generating images of people of color in inaccurate historical contexts. Google has paused Gemini's image-generation feature and plans to release an improved version soon. OpenAI, on the other hand, has not yet responded to requests for comment on these developments.

Key takeaways:

  • OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has expressed disinterest in competing with Google in the search engine market, calling the idea 'boring'.
  • Altman believes that there could be a much better way to help people find, act on, and synthesize information, rather than just creating another version of Google's search engine.
  • Google has faced criticism over its chatbot, Gemini, which has been accused of generating images of people of color in inaccurate historical contexts, leading to a pause in its image-generation feature.
  • Axel Springer, the parent company of Business Insider, has a global deal with OpenAI to train its models on its media brands' reporting and has recently joined a lawsuit against Google over its advertising practices.
