OpenAI is reportedly developing its own social media platform, similar to X, with an internal prototype that focuses on integrating ChatGPT's image generation capabilities into a social feed named 'Yeet'. The project, aimed at improving ChatGPT usability, is still in its early stages, and CEO Sam Altman has been seeking feedback from external sources. The development of this social network could intensify the ongoing rivalry between Altman and Elon Musk, who co-founded OpenAI but left in 2018. Musk has since sued OpenAI, alleging a shift away from its nonprofit mission, while OpenAI has countersued, accusing Musk of attempting to hinder its progress. The social platform could also position OpenAI in direct competition with Meta, which is reportedly working on a standalone AI assistant service. Altman has hinted at the possibility of OpenAI entering the social media space in response to Meta's plans. The platform would provide OpenAI with valuable user-generated content and AI training data, including videos created with its Sora AI.
OpenAI’s ‘Yeet’ Social Feed Aims to Fix ChatGPT Usability OpenAI already offers a feed of user-generated videos created with its Sora AI, and the proposed social feed would be a similar extension for ChatGPT. 🎥 The expansion of user-generated content features is discussed.
