Elon Musk's Reaction to Apple's Collaboration with OpenAI
In a recent exchange on social media, Elon Musk criticized Apple for partnering with OpenAI, leading to a strong response from Saifedean Ammous, a key figure in the Bitcoin community. Ammous expressed disappointment in Musk for not enabling Bitcoin payments on a popular social media platform. Musk, known for his anti-mainstream AI stance, threatened to prohibit Apple devices at his companies if Apple proceeded with integrating ChatGPT at the OS level.
Apple's decision to integrate ChatGPT into its operating systems prompted concerns about data privacy and security. Musk and Ammous questioned Apple's choice to collaborate with OpenAI instead of developing its AI solutions. Musk emphasized the importance of Apple creating its AI, highlighting potential risks associated with external providers like OpenAI.
Despite the controversy, Community Notes clarified that Apple has developed its own AI models with local processing capabilities, set to be implemented in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS for improved AI functionalities.
