OpenAI is working on its own X-like social network, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n
While the project is still in early stages, we\u2019re told there\u2019s an internal prototype focused on ChatGPT\u2019s image generation<\/a> that has a social feed. CEO Sam Altman has been privately asking outsiders for feedback about the project, our sources say. It\u2019s unclear if OpenAI\u2019s plan is to release the social network as a separate app or integrate it into ChatGPT, which became the most downloaded app<\/a> globally last month. An OpenAI spokesperson didn\u2019t respond in time for publication.<\/p>\n Launching a social network in or around ChatGPT would likely increase Altman\u2019s already-bitter rivalry with Elon Musk. In February, after Musk made an unsolicited offer to purchase<\/a> OpenAI for $97.4 billion, Altman responded<\/a>: \u201cno thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.\u201d<\/p>\n Entering the social media market also puts OpenAI on more of a collision course with Meta, which we\u2019re told is planning to add a social feed to its coming standalone app for its AI assistant. When reports of Meta building a rival to the ChatGPT app first surfaced a couple of months ago, Altman shot back on X<\/a> again by saying, \u201cok fine maybe we\u2019ll do a social app.\u201d<\/p>\n
