OpenAI may before long become much more than the ChatGPT company. Per a new report, the company is apparently working on creating its own social network. Kylie Robison and Alex Heath, writing at The Verge: OpenAI is working on its own X-like social network, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. While the project is still in early stages, we’re told there’s an internal prototype focused on ChatGPT’s image generation that has a social feed. CEO Sam Altman has been privately asking outsiders for feedback about the project, our sources say. It’s unclear if OpenAI’s plan is to release the social network as a separate app or integrate it into ChatGPT, which became the most downloaded app globally last month. Details in the report are pretty minimal, other than one idea of the social app being that AI could “help people share better content” in a Grok-like way. The Verge is also clear that OpenAI has many projects in the works, and this is just one of them, so it’s possible the social media product will never come into fruition. But in a fractured market that hasn’t had a huge new contender recently, OpenAI’s interest in social media could shake up the current landscape.
