Sam Altman Raises Questions Over Tesla Autopilot After Elon Musk Blames ChatGPT
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, criticised Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, over ChatGPT. Altman has now hit back by indirectly blaming Musk for incidents involving Tesla's Autopilot systems. He also took a sharp dig at Grok for creating misleading, illegal, offensive, and unfiltered content. Altman posted these comments on X.
Tesla Autopilot Blamed By Sam Altman
Sam Altman posted saying, "Sometimes you complain about ChatGPT being too restrictive, and then in cases like this, you claim it's too relaxed. Almost a billion people use it, and some of them may be in very fragile mental states. We will continue to do our best to get this right, and we feela huge responsibility to do the best we can, but these are tragic and complicated situations that deserve to be treated with respect."
He added, "It is genuinely hard; we need to protect vulnerable users, while also making sure our guardrails still allow all of our users to benefit from our tools. Apparently, more than 50 people have died from crashes related to Autopilot. I only ever rode in a car, using it once, some time ago, but my first thought was that it was far from a safe thing for Tesla to have released. I won't even start on some of the Grok decisions."
The Chat GPT CEO concluded by saying, "You take every accusation as a confession so far." Tesla's Autopilot system has been linked to several reported crash incidents, some of which have resulted in fatalities. However, Tesla has consistently denied these allegations related to its autonomous systems.
It all started when Elon Musk forwarded a tweet saying a "ChatGPT has now been linked to 9 deaths tied to its use, and in 5 cases its interactions are alleged to have led to death by suicide, including teens and adults.' The post was originally shared by an account named DogeDesigner. Musk later added his own comment, saying, "Don't let your loved ones use ChatGPT."
Elon Musk and Sam Altman have been at odds for several years. It all started back in 2018, when Musk left OpenAI following disagreements over the company's future direction. Musk later acquired Twitter (now X) and went on to launch his own AI company, xAI.
