OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research lab known for its cutting-edge technologies, has recently come under fire from various notable figures for its decisions and collaborations. In a series of alarming warnings, individuals such as Edward Snowden and Scarlett Johansson have voiced their concerns about the trustworthiness of OpenAI and its products.
Edward Snowden, the infamous whistleblower who exposed the NSA’s surveillance programs, took to social media to caution against putting faith in OpenAI and its ChatGPT technology. His warning came after it was revealed that a former NSA director had been appointed to the board of OpenAI, raising suspicions about the organization’s ties to government agencies.
Snowden’s criticism was echoed by actress Scarlett Johansson, who expressed dismay at the striking similarity between OpenAI’s chat assistant and her voice in the movie “Her.” Fans also noticed the resemblance and began speculating and making jokes about the uncanny similarity.
Even tech mogul Elon Musk couldn’t resist taking a dig at OpenAI, sarcastically commenting on the company’s collaboration with Apple to integrate ChatGPT into devices. The partnership raised eyebrows among privacy advocates and skeptics who questioned the implications of such a move.
Despite the controversy surrounding OpenAI, some individuals on Capitol Hill view the appointment of the retired US Army general and former NSA head to the board as a security win. However, many remain skeptical and wary of the organization’s intentions and affiliations.
In light of these warnings and criticisms, it seems that OpenAI has indeed gone “full mask off,” prompting a wave of distrust and skepticism from both the public and prominent figures. As the debate over the ethics and transparency of artificial intelligence continues to heat up, it is clear that OpenAI’s reputation and credibility are on the line.
