Elon Musk and Sam Altman fight over who ‘killed’ more; both warn …

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are once again engaged in a public war of words. In a post on microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter), the Tesla CEO bashed OpenAI’s ChatGPT saying “Don’t let your loved ones use ChatGPT”. The billionaire quoted a post by DogeDesigner which claimed that ChatGPT has now been linked to 9 deaths tied to its use. “..in 5 cases its interactions are alleged to have led to death by suicide, including teens and adults,” the post further stated. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded sharply to Musk writing “You take ‘every accusation is a confession’ so far”. Sam Altman further countered Elon Musk by citing over 50 Tesla Autopilot and Grok-related deaths. “I only ever rode in a car using it once, some time ago, but my first thought was that it was far from a safe thing for Tesla to have released. I won’t even start on some of the Grok decisions,” he said.In the post, Altman defended the alleged deaths due to ChatGPT stating that the company is doing its best and has “huge responsibility to do the best”. “It is genuinely hard; we need to protect vulnerable users, while also making sure our guardrails still allow all of our users to benefit from our tools,” Altman wrote in the post.

Almost a billion people use it and some of them may be in very fragile mental states. We will continue to do our best to get this right and we feel huge responsibility to do the best we can, but these are tragic and complicated situations that deserve to be treated with respect.It is genuinely hard; we need to protect vulnerable users, while also making sure our guardrails still allow all of our users to benefit from our tools.Apparently more than 50 people have died from crashes related to Autopilot. I only ever rode in a car using it once, some time ago, but my first thought was that it was far from a safe thing for Tesla to have released. I won’t even start on some of the Grok decisions.You take “every accusation is a confession” so far.
