OpenAI has removed its newly introduced feature from its popular chatbot ChatGPT app within hours of its launch. OpenAI decided to remove the feature after receiving backlash over potential privacy risk. The newly launched feature enabled users to search the web directly from within ChatGPT, but soon concerns around it surfaced online as the feature could inadvertently expose sensitive information to search engines.

As reported by Business Insider, the new feature was intended to provide a more seamless way for users to integrate real-time web information into their conversations with ChatGPT.
