Elon Musk has announced the launch of a new artificial intelligence platform called TruthGPT, which will compete with ChatGPT and other generative AI bots. This move seems to contradict Musk’s recent call for a moratorium on developing such technology. However, Musk has reiterated his concerns about AI’s potential to cause harm, even claiming that it could lead to the destruction of civilization. It has been revealed that Musk has created a new company, X.AI, incorporated in Nevada.
Musk’s fascination with the letter X extends to Twitter, which has now changed its official company name to X Corp and moved its incorporation location from Delaware to Nevada. Musk has a long-stated goal of creating X, “an everything app”.
Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, has warned that the world is not ready for the rapid changes that new AI will bring, saying it will “impact every product across every company”. However, this isn’t stopping Google from racing ahead to integrate generative AI into its advertising, according to a report. Pichai also said that the problem of fake imagery would become much worse. In one recent example, an image of Pope Francis in a white puffer coat went viral on social media before it was revealed to have been generated by AI.
