Elon Musk vs OpenAI: Tech Billionaire Says New GPT-4o Demo Made Him Cringe; Know Reasons

New Delhi, May 14: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, on Tuesday, took potshots at Sam Altman-run OpenAI, saying their latest event to announce new AI models made him "cringe." Author Ashley St Clair posted on X that with OpenAI, humans can now let AI perceive reality in real time for them and “we may have just replaced the post-truth era with something much worse.”

Musk, a staunch critic of OpenAI, replied that the company's “demo made me cringe.” “Can’t wait for the Grok (xAI) version of this demo,” an X user commented. In March, the tech billionaire sued OpenAI and its CEO Altman, alleging that they breached their original contractual agreements around AI. ‘Elon Musk Is Going To Be Biggest Loser Here’, Indian-American Entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa Remarks on Tesla CEO Picking China Over India.
