Elon Musk Wants to Create a Rival for Chatgpt

Elon Musk  would have started to assemble a team specialized in artificial intelligence to form a research laboratory in the sector. The goal is to create an improved alternative to ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, a company whose billionaire was one of the co-founders.

The statement comes from a report on the website The Information, which obtained access to exclusive information on the conversations. The tycoon's first step was to recruit Igor Babuschkin, a researcher who recently left his position at DeepMind AI. DeepMind is the artificial intelligence division of Alphabet , the company that owns Google , and one of those responsible for innovative solutions, such as one that accurately predicts rainfall .

Babuschkin would be responsible for managing the project of a chatbot superior to those currently on the market. ChatGPT is the main name today and has the ability to write articles, solve math problems, pass college, pass the medical test and create programming codes.

When will Elon Musk's ChatGPT launch?

For the time being, the project would still be in its initial phase, with no concrete plans for the development of any product. According to The Information, the AI ​​specialist has not yet officially signed a contract with Musk and is still studying the market to see who would be willing to embark on this journey.

It's likely to take a few years for something to be introduced to the world, so it seems like a risky gamble at this point in time, when major competitors are far ahead. Even so, the CEO of Twitter and Tesla doesn't like to be left behind in technology disputes, so his new company could focus on something more advanced.

Chat AIs in the spotlight

The Big Techs of the planet see countless possibilities with generative AIs like GPT-4. No wonder Google works on Bard , Microsoft owns the ChatGPT rights integrated into Bing , Amazon has been developing its solution for years and even Chinese giants, such as Baidu (Ernie Bot), Alibaba and Tencent, already want to put solutions on the market .

Google and Microsoft are fighting to see who can best integrate these instant response chatbots into their search engines. Bing was able to attract unprecedented attention thanks to this, so it started to annoy the competitor .

The focus now seems to be on developing more versatile solutions that bring practical gains beyond mere conversation with humans. There is also a big challenge that needs to be overcome: the amount of errors spread by such tools. If Musk can create something that overcomes such issues, then success could come beyond expectation. Otherwise, the service could become just another "Twitter 2".
