To this, Twitter's CEO responded: "But now it has become a closed-source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all."
ChatGPT is an advanced form of artificial intelligence, which has been powered by the GPT-3, the largest language model of the time. The chatbot has been designed and programmed to recognise human language and generate responses according to the requirement, based on massive amounts of data.
As per Elon Musk, "ChatGPT has illustrated to people just how advanced AI has become. AI has been advanced for a while. It just didn't have a user interface that was accessible to most people".
Musk said that he stepped down from OpenAI's board of directors back in 2018 and he no longer has any stake or involvement with the company, The Verge reported.
He further mentioned, "Initially, it was created as an open-source nonprofit. Now it is closed-source and for-profit. I don't have an open stake in OpenAI, nor am I on the board, nor do I control it in any way.”
He stepped back because it was reported that Google was not paying enough attention to Open AI’s safety.
