In Openai they do not conform to being absolute referents in the segment of artificial intelligence. The last rumors point to that They intend to create a social network that would go beyond Chatgpt. The reason, eye, is not to compete with Facebook, Instagram or X. At least, not directly.
Social network = data to feed the AIThe movement responds without a doubt to that voracious hunger of new data that the AI models have and that allows them to improve and polish their behavior in different scenarios. A social network would allow Openai to use all those data entered by users to train their models.
X already discovered that trend. The Fusion between X and XAI It was already a clear demonstration of that strategy: suddenly I had a perfect system to train its AI, Grok model, with all the posts of X users.
And goal, of course, too. Goal takes time doing the same With Facebook and Instagram – although The EU forced her to slightly change your plans – and also collect data when we use ai target at whatsapp, Although you can avoid it. All with the same goal: to have “fresh food” for its artificial intelligence models.
A social network to share images. Apparently the prototype that is already developed focuses on Chatgpt’s ability to generate images. It would therefore be a social network more similar to an instagram full of images generated by AI, from which we imagine that users would be generated.
Altman already warned. The funny thing is that the rumor occurs weeks after Sam Altman himself, CEO of OpenAi, jokes with that possibility. When the news appeared that Meta was preparing an independent app for goal AI, Altman replied saying “ok, perfect, perhaps we make a social app.”
This does not connect people. Perhaps they already had the project and it was not a joke, but although Altman pointed out that that could allow “revenge” of Facebook, the intentions would not be those of competing with Facebook when connecting people – the original purpose of that social network, at least – but that of collecting more and more data for their AI, which is what they have also ended up doing social networks.
And the AGI for when. The problem of this theoretical project is that it would be partly a distraction for Openai. It would certainly allow for more data for the training of its AI models, but it is not clear that the scaling is the right path for the ultimate end of OpenAi: get a general artificial intelligence or agi.
Too many parallel projects. Altman is famous for generate excessive expectations about the AGI. However, this challenge is tarnished by their last releases, especially in the case of GPT-4.5. The company seems to be somewhat scattered with gigantic projects like Stargatethe development of Your own chips o The mysterious hardware project In collaboration with Jony Ive. Too many apples in the basket? We will see.
