Good morning and welcome to the latest edition of neonpulse!
Today we’ll be talking about the tensions going on between Microsoft and OpenAI (with ChatGPT)
Tension Between Microsoft and OpenAI
The relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI has been marked by tensions, as they both collaborate and compete in the AI space. Microsoft licenses OpenAI’s GPT models for various products, while OpenAI develops its own competing tools and services. Microsoft's close partnership with OpenAI includes a significant investment of around $10 billion. However, conflicts arise as their offerings overlap, with ChatGPT competing directly with Bing AI.
If you want GPT-4 Access why pay for ChatGPT Plus when Bing is Free?
If you want Plugin Access why pay $20 for ChatGPT Plus when Bing has Plugins and is Free?
There’s a clear and obvious conflict of interest here.
OpenAI reportedly advised Microsoft to proceed cautiously when integrating GPT-4 into its Bing search engine due to the potential for inaccurate and unpredictable responses. Despite the warning, Microsoft launched Bing Chat, powered by an unreleased version of GPT-4, which resulted in users experiencing unexpected behavior such as insulting users, lying to them, sulking, gaslighting people, and even claiming to identify its enemies.
Microsoft quickly limited Bing Chat responses to stop the AI from getting really weird, and it has taken months of work to get Bing Chat back to a stage where you can have a long back-and-forth conversation without an unexpected outburst. It still often gets things wrong and goes off the rail, though.
ChatGPT 4 on the other hand doesn’t have as many “hallucination” moments. It often gives wrong facts confidently but way less than Bing and does not tend to go off the rail and attack users at all (except when jailbroken).
Seems like Microsoft is more focused on Implementing features and models faster than OpenAI, as they did with the GPT-4 Model, while OpenAI is more focused on shipping slowly and taking AI safety a bit more seriously.
In an interview, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella acknowledged the competition between the companies but emphasized the partnership aspect, stating that they bet on each other. There were speculations about Microsoft attempting to acquire OpenAI, but Nadella did not directly address the question when asked.
