Faced with the judicial threats of Elon Musk, Apple Riparte. Since August 11, the owner of X has accused the American giant to promote chatgpt in his application store, to the detriment of other AI companies.
The App Store is “designed to be fair and impartial,” replied to a Bloomberg Apple spokesman, and adds that thousands of applications are offered “through classifications, algorithmic recommendations and lists organized by experts according to objective criteria.”
“Our goal is to offer a safe discovery to users and valuable opportunities to developers, collaborating with many actors to increase the visibility of applications in constantly evolving categories,” he said.
Accusations of dementia
Apple responds to the unfounded accusations of Elon Musk, who plans to initiate legal procedures against the company. The billionaire criticizes him for offering chatgpt in many sections of his application store in the United States, but also for not putting his Ai Grok in the section “Applications that cannot be lost”.
Elon Musk also believes that due to this favoritism, no other company that opts can reach the first place in the classification of free Applications of the App Store. Others have succeeded, as a community note added to its publication underlines. Chinese Chatbot Depseek dethroned the chatgpt in January and perplexity increased to the first place in the ranking in the Indian application in July.
Apple is not the only one who has responded to Elon Musk’s accusations. This is also the case of Openai chief, Sam Altman. “This is a remarkable statement given what I heard about Elon’s maneuvers aimed at manipulating X to serve their own interests and those of their businesses, already damaging competitors and the people who do not like them,” he replied.
Then, the two billionaires exchanged some attacks that ended with Sam Altman by asking Elon Musk if he would sign a statement under oath ensuring that he never changed the X algorithm for their purposes and that it would apologize if the latter did.
