Elon Musk Takes A Dig At Bill Gates
Elon Musk has been pretty vocal about the consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) ever since Microsoft-backed OpenAI launched its chatbot ChatGPT. He feels that it might impact our lives, but not in a good way.
The Tesla CEO slammed Bill Gates over this issue. Taking to Twitter, he responded to a tweet by Sandy Kory, who praised Gates and his approach toward AI.
“‘I’d been meeting with the team from OpenAI since 2016…” –from Bill Gates’ essay The Age of AI Has Begun. It’s big when someone like Gates is so bullish on AI. Also notable that MSFT has been tracking this so closely for so long,” he said.
I remember the early meetings with Gates. His understanding of AI was limited. Still is.
