Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the renowned author of The Black Swan and Antifragile, continues to criticize ChatGPT, the flagship product of OpenAI, for its fundamental AI mechanism. In a recent statement, Taleb expressed dissatisfaction with the chatbot’s inconsistent responses to users’ queries, sparking mixed reactions among online users.
While some defended ChatGPT as a mere text generator, others questioned Taleb’s focus solely on ChatGPT, urging him to address similar concerns with Microsoft’s Copilot AI. However, Taleb did not respond to these queries.
Meanwhile, David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO, took to social media to criticize the influence of AI on platforms like Quora, highlighting the prevalence of subpar AI-generated content. This critique echoes concerns raised by other notable figures, such as Edward Snowden, who warned against using ChatGPT due to OpenAI’s recent hiring of a former NSA boss.
In a separate development, Elon Musk voiced his disapproval of Apple’s collaboration with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT across iOS devices. Musk announced a ban on Apple products within his companies, citing data privacy concerns related to ChatGPT’s data collection practices.
These criticisms underscore the growing apprehension surrounding AI technologies and their implications for user privacy and security. As discussions continue, it remains to be seen how companies like OpenAI and their flagship products will address these valid concerns.
