OpenAI is reportedly developing a social media platform that could rival Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter). The platform would utilize ChatGPT's image generation capabilities and feature a social feed, allowing users to create and share content. This move positions OpenAI in direct competition with tech giants like X and Meta's Threads.
The platform would leverage ChatGPT's image generation tools, enabling users to create visuals like diagrams, infographics, logos, and stylized portraits. A proprietary social platform could provide OpenAI with a valuable stream of real-time data, helping refine its AI systems.
This development intensifies the rivalry between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who made an unsolicited $97.4 billion offer to acquire OpenAI in February. OpenAI's ambitions also clash with Meta, which is reportedly working on adding a social feed to its forthcoming AI assistant app.
The platform is still in its early stages, and it's unclear whether it will launch as a standalone app or be integrated into the ChatGPT platform. Sam Altman has been quietly gathering feedback on the project, fueling speculation about OpenAI's plans.
