Since its launch in the latter months of 2022, ChatGPT has been the darling of the tech industry. Captivating users with its sophisticated system, the program created a brand new market for generative AI projects. Subsequently, setting off an AI arms race within some of the industry\u2019s biggest companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, it has been reported by Semafor that Elon Musk wanted to take control of the ChatGPT developer, OpenAI, in 2018.

Semafor reports that Musk was concerned with the lengths taken by competitors like Google. Then, stating that a potential solution lay in him taking control of the firm, and running it. Conversely, Altman, and OpenAI\u2019s founding body, \u201crejected his proposal.\u201d Leading Musk to leave the company entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, it was Musk\u2019s departure that set the firm on its current course. As the billionaire left, so did his funding. Then, as OpenAI turned its attention toward transformer models that seemed to be the next evolution of the industry, the cost required them to shift their focus, becoming a for-profit company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Musk has remained outspoken in his opposition to the project, and the danger it imposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
