Elon Musk Takes Marketing Cues from Trump, Names New AI Model ‘TruthGPT’ – Critics Worry It Will Post on Social Media at 3am Too.
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has hired the same marketing firm responsible for naming former President Donald Trump’s new social media platform, “Truth Social,” to come up with the name for his latest project, a new AI language model called “TruthGPT.”
According to sources close to Musk, he was impressed by the catchy name of Trump’s platform and wanted a similar name for his AI project, which he claims will be a more truthful alternative to OpenAI’s language model.
The marketing firm, known for its creative use of words and slogans, reportedly came up with several options before settling on “TruthGPT.” The name combines the concepts of truth and artificial intelligence, while also incorporating the popular GPT acronym used by OpenAI.
Critics have raised concerns about the choice of name, noting that it could be seen as an attempt to associate the project with Trump’s controversial platform, which has been accused of promoting misinformation and conspiracy theories.
In response, Musk defended the name choice, stating that “TruthGPT” represents his commitment to transparency and accuracy in AI language modeling. He also emphasized that the project will be completely separate from Trump’s platform and will not share any of its content or ideology.
Despite the controversy surrounding the name, Musk’s new project has generated significant interest in the tech community, with many eager to see what kind of advancements it will bring to the field of natural language processing.
Only time will tell whether “TruthGPT” will live up to its name, but for now, Musk seems confident in his choice and is forging ahead with the development of his latest creation.
