Elon Musk Threatens to Ban Apple Devices Over ChatGPT Integration

Reading between the lines, he has been trying to slow OpenAI's progress here since December 2022. He wants to be known for AI, no matter what the cost...how can he be the future of humanity if he isn't the source for its AI? His motivations are all too clear and if he kept his cards closer to his chest he wouldn't be so easily dismissed. He's not looking to make sure choosing AI is like choosing a search engine, he's looking to make sure his three AI companies have a chance.
You're making it seem as if this guy has some intention to lean into open standards, and he'd certainly go along with you if it made him look good. He didn't claim there should be choice, he claimed that OpenAI can't be trusted.
Github doesn't have it's own AI, it's Microsoft Copilot and that's the Github iteration - which is also just OpenAI behind the scenes.
Interestingly, they had a change of heart on scanning your library for CSAM... Sure, Apple should show how this is done - but they kind of already did that.
Yeah, no. This is more along the lines of what we said about Elizabeth Holmes.
Look, there should be the ability of end users to select the AI model used by Apple Intelligence. In the case of MacOS, possibly multiple AI models. Even Apple themselves said they would eventually allow Apple Intelligence to use other AI models in the future.
Sure, that's you saying that, not Musk. And I wouldn't disagree.
Founding OpenAI doesn't mean he had the idea and built it in his garage. It was founded by Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, Jessica Livingston, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, and Wojciech Zaremba, with Sam Altman and Elon serving on the board.
Musk quit in 2018 because he felt OpenAI was moving too slowly. And, when they suddenly lapped everyone last fall, he threw a tantrum about it.
I work in AI space, in medical AI. Musk is richer than he is smart. Trust me. He's far from indispensable.
There is no large tech company that does more to protect their users' privacy. I have zero issue with Apple offering the use of OpenAI in the manner they describe.
I agree. This is has become part of Apple's brand, breaking that image would cost them dearly.
Is there anyone left working in his facilities? He’s been on a firing spree lately. He can go pound sand to the bots on his platform.
Elon Musk.
Before everyone trashes what he said, people should take a look at his background and perhaps he has a real reason for “not keeping his mouth shut”..
Fun how the first responses were how Elon is a "man child", and then the voices of reason finally arrive. Nothing about how ChatGPT uses data should be trusted, regardless of what Apple says. If ChatGPT didn't get anything out of this arrangement, there wouldn't be one.
Notice that Musk has made no such statements of Windows PCs despite similar ChatGPT integrations...
Thus the most likely explanation imo is that Apple was getting a ton of attention and Elon forever the narcissist decided he wanted some of that for himself

Ooooh news flash Musk is whining again.
It is not - it is competition for his own AI platform called GROK
Yeah, Apple is panicking. They were caught off guard and now they had to agreed to this deal. And for people that think otherwise, you just have to see what devices are going to get I, it’s iPhone 15 Pro and up lol. They were obviously projecting this to be released in maybe three years.
I mean, Apple made it very clear in the keynote that even companies that promise they aren’t storing anything do. It was really ironic how they said that but then promised how Open AI won’t do it lol.
Yup, and all this was said in almost the same sentence. Lmao.
Yeah Apple is big on Privacy but just a little bit bigger at keeping their shareholders happy. LOL.
Well even if OpenAI broke the law (which would seem daft for a company so new trying to establish itself) and lied about what they were doing. They're not sent any personal data and they're not sent any IP addresses. So what exactly are they going to do with millions of questions like "how tall is the biggest giraffes" "tell me about the golden gate bridge", "what's the most expensive coffee in the world" etc.
Not a lot - it's not even good enough to train their models with.
