Elon Musk was 'furious' with ChatGPT's popularity at debut after he pulled his investment and left OpenAI

According to people familiar with the matter, Twitter CEO Elon Musk was “furious” when OpenAI’s remarkable chatbot ChatGPT debuted last November and sparked talks about it being a danger to Google. Musk’s dissatisfaction with ChatGPT comes years after the OpenAI cofounder allegedly fell out with the business over disputes over who should run it, and Musk’s concerns that OpenAI was sliding behind Google. Elon Musk’s exit from OpenAI According to Semafor, in early 2018, Sam Altman and other OpenAI cofounders rejected Musk’s plan to manage the business, which was a nonprofit at the time. Musk wanted to take control and manage the business on his own in order to compete with Google, causing a schism between Altman and Musk. As a consequence, Musk resigned from OpenAI’s board and withdrew potential funding, according to Semafor.   Also read: Elon Musk calls ChatGPT a danger to civilisation, says not what he intended when he backed OpenAI However, OpenAI ultimately outpaced Google in releasing a creative AI chatbot.
