Elon Musk has been working for a long time to incorporate more and more artificial intelligence functionalities into his social network X (or Twitter, if you prefer). Grok is a clear example of this, allowing users to create texts, documents, code and, yes, viral images, and easily insert them from the social network itself. Even its moderation service has passed to some extent to AI. But… What would happen if Chatgpt did the reverse trip and transform into a social network?
Well, that is what it seems close to occur.
SocialGPT
Openai, the company behind Chatgpt, would be working on the development of a social network similar to X, As revealed multiple sources close to the project to The Verge. Although it is still at an early stage of its development, There is already an internal prototype that combines a social feed with the functions of generation of chatgpt images. The CEO of the company, Sam Altmanwould have requested external opinions privately to profile the direction of this new bet.
It is not yet clear if the social network will be launched as an independent application or if it will be integrated into the Chatgpt platform. In any case, the initiative would not only be an ambitious expansion for OpenAI, but also Intensify his intense rivalry with Elon MuskFounder of XAI and owner of X. Recall that in February, Musk offered to buy OpenAI for 97.4 billion dollars, to which Altman responded ironically: “No thanks, but we will buy Twitter for 9,740 million if you want.”
The entrance to the social market would also put Openai in direct competition with Goal, which plans to incorporate a feed in its next artificial intelligence assistant application. Like Musk, whose Grok uses X content, and goal, which trains its models with user data, OpenAi seeks to access real -time data to improve its systems. In addition, that approach to a social network based on images reminds a lot of one of its social crown jewels: Instagram
The truth is that more and more websites are raising OpenAi restrictions to access its content, and that could make it difficult for the company to maintain the relevance of their AI responses. He thinks that such as chatgpt requires huge volumes of data of all kinds, something that an own social network could help to supply him.
According to sector sources, one of the objectives of the new product is that AI helps users generate more attractive and viral content. Although there is no guarantee that the project will see the light, its existence reinforces the idea that Openai is exploring new paths to grow beyond the current limits of conversational artificial intelligence. In fact, today Openai has greatly improved its usability in this area by incorporating an image library with the contents of the users.
Towards a fusion of social networks and ia? The Era of the Social Media
Given these information we might think that social media is increasingly heading towards a hybrid environment between human and Ia. Let's imagine a Twitter with the conversational depth of an advanced AI. Users could initiate elaborate debates (hopefully), request detailed explanations or even collaborate in the creation of texts with the AI and others. Even If those publications do not have to write their handwriting. Information would flow with context, and AI could act as a personalized assistant, summarizing threads or answering questions instantly.
However, spontaneity could be diluted … enough.
And there would be more problems: Addiction to the possibility of generating interaction to only one prompt of distance and the dependence of the AI for critical thinking They would be latent risks for users.
Is nobody think of the bots?
In recent times, one of the recurring concerns towards social networks is increasing presence of botswhich are reducing the weight of “human” conversations in networks such as X. If the OpenNai social network integrates advanced Chatgpt text generation capacities, the distinction between a human publication or interaction and a generated by AI will become more complicated. Current bots usually have more repetitive language patterns or obvious errors, but a sophisticated conversational could imitate human speech almost indistinguishable.
The ease with which automated accounts driven by an AI as chatgpt could be created and operated could lead to an exponential increase in the number of bots on the platform. These They would not be the clumsy bots of the pastbut entities capable of participating in coherent conversations, generating viral content and simulating human interactions convincingly.
