Overview

  • OpenAI is developing an internal prototype for a social media network centered on ChatGPT's image generation capabilities, according to multiple reports.
  • The project is in its early stages, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman soliciting external feedback to refine the concept.
  • It remains unclear whether the social network will be released as a standalone app or integrated into the existing ChatGPT platform.
  • The initiative is partly aimed at collecting real-time user data to improve AI models, a strategy already employed by competitors like X and Meta.
  • The development is expected to heighten tensions between OpenAI and Elon Musk, who owns X, as well as intensify competition with Meta's AI-driven projects.
