Overview

  • OpenAI is developing a prototype social media platform centered on ChatGPT's AI image-generation tool, featuring a social feed for user-generated content.
  • CEO Sam Altman is actively seeking external feedback on the project, which remains in its early development phase.
  • It is unclear whether the platform will be released as a standalone app or integrated into the ChatGPT app, which recently became the most downloaded app globally.
  • The initiative aims to secure real-time user data to enhance OpenAI's AI models, placing the company in direct competition with X and Meta.
  • This move escalates the rivalry between Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who recently made an unsolicited $97.4 billion bid to acquire OpenAI, which was rejected.
