OpenAI is building its own X-like social media network, according to a new report from The Verge. The project is still in the early stages, but there’s an internal prototype focused on ChatGPT’s image generation that contains a social feed.
The report states that it’s unknown if OpenAI plans to launch the social network as a standalone app or if it plans to integrate it within the ChatGPT app.
With this new social network, OpenAI would be taking on Elon Musk’s X and Meta’s social platforms, Facebook and Instagram. The new app would also allow OpenAI to access real-time data to train its AI models, something that both X and Meta already have.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has reportedly been privately asking outsiders for feedback about the social network.
At this point, it’s not clear whether the project will ever launch publicly, but the existence of a prototype shows that OpenAI is looking to expand beyond its current offerings.
