OpenAI sets sights on challenging Facebook and X dominance
Facebook and X are among the most popular social networking services. Could anyone disrupt their dominance? It is possible that OpenAI, the American giant specializing in artificial intelligence, might do just that.
OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, consistently develops their tools. This is evident not only through new features in the popular chatbot but also with the introduction of completely new models—GPT-4.1 was recently unveiled. Is OpenAI fully dedicating itself to the development of artificial intelligence? Leaks suggest not entirely.
Is OpenAI creating an alternative to Elon Musk's platform?
OpenAI reportedly works on its social network, which resembles X (formerly Twitter). The project is in its early stages, but the internal prototype focuses on generating images through ChatGPT and includes an integrated social channel, reports TechCrunch, citing The Verge.
It is not entirely clear whether OpenAI plans to launch the new social platform as a separate application or integrate it with ChatGPT. If the project is completed, the company will compete with Elon Musk's and Meta's social platforms—X, Facebook, and Instagram.
Training AI models is at stake
The new app could allow OpenAI to access real-time data needed to train its AI models, similar to X and Meta. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, is reportedly privately seeking opinions from outsiders regarding this project.
Although there is no official confirmation yet on whether the platform will be launched, the presence of a prototype indicates OpenAI's ambition to expand its range of services.
