Brockman Says Musk’s Lack of AI Knowledge Was Concern at OpenAI

OpenAI President Greg Brockman testified that Elon Musk called a ChatGPT predecessor “stupid,” and told the researchers developing the model that “kids on the internet could do a better job of it,” raising concerns among his co-founders that the billionaire lacked the patience to run the company.

In federal court Tuesday, Brockman described numerous tense conversations that he and OpenAI executives Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever had with Musk about the future of the startup almost a decade ago. It’s Brockman’s second day of testimony at a high-profile trial in California that has major stakes for the ChatGPT maker.
