Musk’s reaction to OpenAI partnership riot
Elon Musk, the tech entrepreneur behind Tesla, SpaceX, and the newly launched xAI start-up, has responded to the news of Stack Overflow users sabotaging his rival company, OpenAI’s deal. The users are protesting against ChatGPT, OpenAI’s AI bot, being trained on their posts. The situation escalated to the point where Stack Overflow began banning users who were revolting against ChatGPT training on their platform.
Resistance from Stack Overflow Users
An insider from X, known as “DogeDesigner,” shared a post about the ongoing situation. It highlighted that users of the Stack Overflow platform are beginning to remove their posts to prevent them from being used as training material for ChatGPT. This action stems from the fear that if their code is used to train the AI, they could potentially lose their jobs to artificial intelligence. Musk expressed his surprise at the resistance from Stack Overflow users with a simple tweet saying, “Wow.”

He advocates for creating AI that is as truthful and curious as possible.

xAI and the Pursuit of Truthful AI
Musk launched xAI and its AI bot, Grok, as a counter to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and similar products from other IT giants, which he refers to as “woke.” His aim with xAI is to create an AI that is truthful, thereby opposing the current trend in the AI industry.
Conclusion
