In front of Elon Musk’s complaint, Apple and Operai retaliates. At the end of August, the owner of X attacked the two companies in justice, accusing them of anti -comppetitive practices. He also criticizes the first to promote chatgpt in his application store, to the detriment of other chatbots, including his, Grok.
But for Apple and Openai, this complaint is unfounded, so they requested their rejection, as Ars Technica reported. The two companies make fun of “approximate calculations” by the billionaire.
Elon Musk and his new AI company, XAI, suggest, for example, that the integration of Chatgpt into the iPhone to help Siri could lead to what Operai receives “up to 55%” of possible Chatbot messages in the market. In other words, a consequent data mana to train the chatbot. But the two companies point to the very approximate and imprecise side of this point. In fact, this could mean between 0 and 55%…
Calculations based on “speculative and not very plausible hypothesis”
According to the Chatgpt creator, Elon Musk reached this estimate “assuming Siri responds to” 1.5 billion user requests per day in the world “, then divides this figure through the” total number of chatbots applications of generative chatbots in 2024 “,” apparently 2.7 billion per day. “
The integration of chatgpt in Siri is not available on all iPhone, as Openai remembers. Only the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, as well as the iPhone 16 and 17, are really compatible with Apple’s intelligence and, therefore, can benefit from it.
For his part, Apple reproaches the owner of X for “taking the logic to the extreme with their calculations”, which seem to “rest in speculative hypotheses and not very plausible according to which the agreement would give exclusive Chatgpt to Siri of all Apple devices (including the old models), and that optai could use all these requests to train Chatgpt and reach a certain scale.
Commercial decision
In addition to the mockery, OpenAi deplores another attempt by Elon Musk to quell competition in the AI sector with his complaint, he also qualifies him as a new episode of continuous multimillionaire harassment from the success of Chatgpt. The new company also specified that the integration of its chatbot in Siri and No Grok is a commercial decision by Apple. Even if this integration was made approximately at the same time when the owner of X eliminated the “Wake Filters” after having taken his AI to present himself as a “Mechahiltler” earlier this year.
A similar logic has motivated the company not to present Grok as an “essential” application in the App Store. “Apple employees explained the objective reasons why Grok did not appear in certain lists and identified improvements for the request” after Elon Musk complained publicly, “Apple said in their complaint. But instead of making changes in the chatbot, the billionaire and Xai filed a complaint.
Apple believes that the owner of X continues just because he is not happy that other chatbots have not integrated into Siri. However, this requires a “substantial investment”, which Elon Musk must know since he joined Grok in X, the company said. He also recalled that he had always planned to integrate other chatbots into his native functions after having invested in Apple Intelligence and tested his performances.
