This is what competition does
The ChatGPT text machine, Google’s competitor Bard, and software that can generate images based on text descriptions are causing a stir right now. At the same time, there are concerns that their skills could be used, for example, to produce and spread disinformation.
ChatGPT formulates texts by estimating the probability that a sentence will continue word for word. One consequence of this procedure is that in addition to correct information, it also invents information that is not entirely correct – but no difference can be recognized to the user. Musk was a co-founder of OpenAI developer ChatGPT, but left over four years ago and is now a critic of the startup. Musk owns a humanoid robot that has been developing at Tesla for years, which he says could become more important than the auto business over time.
