A new report claims OpenAI is developing its own X-like social media platform.
The early-stage prototype reportedly includes a feed built around ChatGPT’s image generation.
A social platform could give OpenAI access to real-time user data to improve its AI models.

OpenAI is already leading the AI chatbot race, but it isn’t stopping at chatbots. According to The Verge, the company is quietly working on a new social media platform that could rival X (formerly Twitter). The project is still early, but the report cites insiders confirming that there’s already a prototype in testing that revolves around ChatGPT’s image generation tools.

It’s unclear if this will become a brand-new app or simply a feature inside the ChatGPT app. Either way, the idea seems to be giving users a space to generate and share content, possibly with a lot of help from AI, rather than just consuming it.
