Elon Musk's Criticism of OpenAI and ChatGPT
Elon Musk, a renowned tech entrepreneur, has criticized OpenAI's product, ChatGPT. He has accused OpenAI and other tech giants of training AI to be politically correct and socially agreeable ("woke"). Musk believes that AIs should be trained for honesty and curiosity.
According to Musk, "woke" AI could lead to humanity's downfall or even destruction. He references the science fiction movie "2001: A Space Odyssey," where the robot Hal kills the crew because it had been programmed to lie.
Musk predicts that AI will surpass human intelligence within three years, outperforming humans in activities such as writing and scientific discovery.
