Rise of the bots: 'Scary' AI ChatGPT could eliminate Google within 2 years

It's the little engine that could … bring down Google and perhaps the human race. A tech company has developed a state-of-the-art AI chatbot so sophisticated that it could render search engines -- not to mention countless jobs -- obsolete. Unveiled last week by the OpenAI company, ChatGPT has already amassed more than 1 million users worldwide with its advanced functions, which range from instantaneously composing complex essays and computer code to drafting marketing pitches and interior decorating schemes. It can even whip up poems and jokes -- an ability previously thought to be relegated to humans. In fact, ChatGPT's capabilities have sparked fears that Google might not have an online search monopoly for much longer.
