As the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) is witnessing intense competition around the world, OpenAI is reportedly working on a new social media platform primarily for AI-generated images.
Citing sources, The Verge noted that OpenAI's social media app is in the early development phase and is likely to feature a social feed wherein users can view and share content created using OpenAI’s tools like DALL-E.
Despite being in the works, it emerged that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been asking for feedback on the project.
It's so far under the wraps whether the social platform will launch as a standalone app or will be integrated into ChatGPT, which recently became the most downloaded app globally.
It was learned that OpenAI's social media app is being designed on inspiration of platforms like Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter), which also powers Grok chatbot with real-time content.
The development of an app is expected to help OpenAI reduce its reliance on external publishers who resort to lodging petitions for copyright infringements and restricting access to their content.
A full-fledged, user-driven app would serve as an active data source for the ChatGPT maker, bringing in real-time visual data, which is crucial to further the capabilities of generative AI systems.
