OpenAI working on a new social media platform

OpenAI is reportedly working on a new social media platform with a social feed, centered around ChatGPT’s visual generation capabilities. According to The Verge, the project is still in its early stages, but CEO Sam Altman is said to be gathering external opinions on the project. It is not yet clear whether the new social media platform will be integrated with the ChatGPT application, or if it will be presented as a completely independent application. However, the increasing popularity of ChatGPT, which became the most downloaded application in the world last month, has already sparked interest in this new platform.
This move is expected to further intensify the competition between Altman and X owner Elon Musk. Musk, as it is known, offered to acquire OpenAI for $97.4 billion last February, to which Altman responded by saying, “No, thank you, but if you want, we can buy Twitter for $9.74 billion.” OpenAI’s entry into the social media market could also deepen its competition with Meta. It is reported that Meta is also preparing an independent application with social feed features for its own artificial intelligence assistant. If OpenAI’s social media platform comes to life, the company would thus gain direct access to real-time data, similar to platforms like X and Meta, providing a significant advantage in training artificial intelligence models.
