Twitter CEO, Elon Musk, says he will launch an artificial intelligence company, TruthGPT, to rival Microsoft-owned ChatGPT.
In the past few months, Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a huge part of our everyday lives.
This started with the launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT by Open AI, which is now owned by Microsoft.
In only a few weeks, ChatGPT has gotten millions of users and subscribers.
This led many tech giants to create rivals for ChatGPT, including Google Bard and Alibaba’s Tongyi Qianwen.
However, OpenAI has refused to succumb to competition with the recent announcement of GPT-4.
GPT-4 is an upgraded version of ChatGPT including new features that are not in the older version.

Apparently with an interest to gain a share of the AI market, Musk said: “I’m going to start something which is called TruthGPT, or an absolute truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe”

Also, the Twitter CEO accuses Microsoft “of training the AI to lie”.
Mr. Musk believes AI has the potential to end civilisation but stresses that his safety concerns would be carefully considered in creating TruthGPT.
“I think this might be the best path to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe.
“It is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe,” Mr. Musk says.
Mr. Musk was a co-founder of OpenAI in 2015, however, he has become a staunch critic of the platform ever since he left the company in 2018.
