According to an April 18 post by Fox News, Elon Musk told the outlet’s host Tucker Carlson that he is developing a rival to ChatGPT called “TruthGPT,” a large language model (LLM) that Musk says will be trained for explore the mysteries of the universe.
“I’m going to run something I call TruthGPT, or ultimate truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe,” Musk said.
This truth-seeking AI, according to Musk, will also challenge what he perceives to be a “leftist” bias in the industry. Musk told Carlson that ChatGPT “is programmed by left-wing experts, who train chatbots to lie.” He also appeared to address concerns about his entry into the crowded LLM market just weeks after signing a petition calling for a pause on related research to assess safety concerns. Carlson, for his part, also added that “the deeper problem is not simply that it becomes autonomous and turns us all into slaves, but that it controls our understanding of reality and does it in a really dishonest way. It could be programmed to lie to us for political purposes”.
According to the Fox News article, Musk said: “I think this might be the best path to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe is unlikely to kill humans because we’re an interesting part of the universe.” universe”.
Musk also appeared to be responding to concerns about his entry into the crowded GPU market, a move he announced with the purchase of 10,000 GPUs, just weeks after signing a petition to halt research in this field in order to to assess security issues.
“I think this might be the best route to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe is unlikely to kill humans because we’re an interesting part of the universe.”
