Did you know OpenAI Is Designing an Internal Prototype for an X-Style Social Network

 

OpenAI is really diving deep into the world of social media. The company is reportedly working on an internal prototype that’s very much like popular social media giant X.

While the project is just in the early stages, the company has designed an internal prototype that’s based on the latest image generator. The latter went viral recently and really pumped up user figures as well as subscriptions.

Right now, it’s no major surprise that the AI giant is really working hard to expand its success in this domain, but the information we have right now is limited. It might follow several other previous prototypes that made it big in the organization, like SearchGPT. The latter started off as separate URLs before it made a debut inside ChatGPT under a new name called ChatGPT Search.

One social network might be bringing in more users, which is great for the platform, but what’s even more important is how it provides the company with a mega trove of data for training AI models. Remember, it no longer has to worry about copyright lawsuits linked to training models on data found online without consent.

The model would have complete access to both Shares and Likes and the people that they’re interacting with. The company already does this with the Instagram app. Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot is similar to this front. It’s living inside X and training on user tweets until they choose to opt out.

It might even be a huge shut-up call to Elon Musk, whose battle with the firm continues to heat up on various fronts. The duo was seen fighting about social media apps after Musk chose to add a mega $97.4 billion bid to purchase OpenAI. Clearly, Altman didn’t stay hush on it. He did offer another deal to purchase Twitter if Musk would like. From the looks of it, he’s designing one of his own.

We must remember how a social part of ChatGPT might give rise to bigger impacts on society, other than the usual. There might be more AI-based content rolling around online. It might also mean Sam Altman will have his own channel to voice his thoughts, like Musk for X and Trump for Truth Social.

Altman mostly uses X to post his thoughts, several times in a single day. His follower count is 3.6 million. Moreover, his content ranges from the likes of product launches to introspective ideas about his personal life and how people once hated him for rolling out ChatGPT. So the benefits are there, both for the CEO and the company in general.
