Elon Musk, one of the world’s wealthiest and smartest people, recently confirmed that he is working on an AI chatbot called TruthGPT. This chatbot is aimed to create a “third option” and compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. The goal of TruthGPT is to become a more reliable and accurate AI tool compared to the existing AI tools.
The news about Musk’s forays into the AI space has been circulating for months, and recent reports suggest that the billionaire has a clear plan for the development of TruthGPT. His newly created company X.AI was recently launched and Musk is reportedly buying massive amounts of GPUs to help develop his AI product. Additionally, Musk is actively recruiting AI engineers from other rival AI companies, such as OpenAI and Google.
In an interview with Fox News, Elon Musk spoke about his plans to develop a “maximum truth-seeking AI” that tries to understand and explore the depths of the universe. Musk also mentioned his hopes for the chatbot to “do more good than harm,” as current AI tools are known for their erroneousness or even lying capabilities.
TruthGPT still needs to cover a significant amount of grounds in order to outrun its AI rivals. Moreover, it remains unknown how the new AI chatbot will manifest in Elon Musk’s products such as Twitter and Tesla Cars.
Apart from developing TruthGPT, Musk is also vocal about the potential dangers and possible destruction that AI can create. He signed an open letter in which he called for an immediate suspension of all AI experiments for a period of six months and which also suggested more regulatory measures to be taken. This opinion was formed due to his prior experience as a co-founder of OpenAI in 2015, a historic event that helped launch ChatGPT.
Elon Musk’s X, previously known as Neuralink, is an American neurotechnology and AI company founded in 2016 by Musk. The company focuses on the development of implantable brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs and various functions related to it. Elon believes this technology will hold the future for open and incredibly powerful forms of communication.
The ultimate success of TruthGPT remains to be seen, however, with Elon Musk’s genius at the helm, things can move in the right direction. In a digital space full of cutting-edge technologies, TruthGPT may eventually become the ultimate AI tool for accuracy and precision.
