Winfrey was initially skeptical of the new technology but changed her opinion and shared, “After Sam Altman was telling me about all the things that I could do, I was saying, ‘Okay, don’t be scared. ‘ You can get the ChatGPT app.’”
Later in the interview, Winfrey told ABC News’ Rebecca Jarvis, “I don’t think we should be scared; I think we should be disciplined, and we should honor it and have a reverence for what is to come.”
