OpenAI has launched its AI-powered search engine, SearchGPT, which aims to challenge the dominance of Google and Bing. SearchGPT combines OpenAI's large language models with real-time web data to provide fast and accurate answers with clear links to relevant sources. Unlike traditional search engines, SearchGPT responds to user questions with up-to-date information and allows for natural dialogue and follow-up questions. OpenAI's entry into the search market presents a significant challenge to existing search giants and could revolutionize the conversational AI landscape. OpenAI has also addressed concerns about content usage and aims to empower publishers by prominently citing and linking to them in searches. However, some publishers remain skeptical and want OpenAI to ensure due credit is given to content creators. [Extracted from the article]

OpenAI has announced a delay in the release of the Voice Mode feature for its ChatGPT platform due to safety and scalability concerns. The company needs an additional month to refine the technology before offering it to a limited group of users in an alpha test. OpenAI aims to ensure that the feature can effectively detect and refuse certain content to prevent potential misuse. This delay creates an interesting scenario in the field of AI voice capabilities, as competitors like Anthropic and Google's DeepMind have already showcased voice-enabled interaction. OpenAI's cautious approach reflects its commitment to responsible AI development and its desire to gather feedback and mitigate potential issues before a wider release. [Extracted from the article]

While Altman expressed sadness at Sutskever's departure, there are concerns about the future of OpenAI and its customers without Sutskever's vision and leadership. However, Sutskever himself is optimistic about his next venture, which he plans to share details about in the future. [Extracted from the article]
