Are OpenAI and Microsoft on speaking terms?

On Monday, Sam Altman and Co. announced the release of ChatGPT for Enterprise. This edition of their chat AI is faster and more secure than the standard paid version.

It’s a play for more corporate clients because they pay more and retain more value in the long term. Remember, running these models costs them more than OpenAI pulls in from premium subscriptions.

Getting companies to sign up for ChatGPT for Enterprise is a lifeline.

Unfortunately, that strategy puts them into a hefty competition with their sugar daddy/best tech friend, Microsoft. Microsoft poured $10B into OpenAI with the expectation that they’ll give them a large share of the profits.

That is, assuming OpenAI manages to become profitable, which is the crux of the issue.

Microsoft’s investment puts pressure on OpenAI to expand revenue opportunities, but in doing so, they’re two sharks heading for the same bait: corporations looking for customized AI.

This ChatGPT expansion is an aggressive move but long overdue.

After all, OpenAI wants their LLMs to become a “personal assistant for work” that every enterprise wants to use. That lofty goal needs to start somewhere, and they won’t make that happen by playing nice with competition.

When Google acquired DeepMind, they got the snake off at its head and then gave it a raise to work for them. Microsoft tried a different approach with OpenAI.

It felt like it was paying off for most of this year, but the fairy dust has settled on the ground. Bing isn’t gnawing into Google’s market share, and companies aren’t lining up to switch workspaces.

So, when does that $10B start swinging influence around in this heated game of chicken?

Snapchat ran into a brick wall when it forced users to try out their My AI feature, and it appears that they seem ready to get hurt again.

The struggling social media company confirmed the release of a generative AI tool called Dream. The feature allows users to make AI images from selfies that can turn a mundane photo into almost anything.

You're spot on if you think this sounds like ten other AI apps.

Lensa shot up the app store rankings with this exact premise, but Snapchat has something they don’t—a robust amount of users willing to try this out. Still, Dream feels like another gimmick that isn’t giving users much to work with right out the gate.

For instance, users can try out Dream and get a free pack of 8 AI selfies from one image. Then, they must pay $1 for any additional package of 8 images.

That’s lame and counterproductive.

Teenagers are their leading user group, and most people in that age demographic don’t even spend money on soda at a vending machine. Why would they pay for an AI-generated photo they can get somewhere else?

Snapchat had convenience baked into the product launch, but charging for the tool that early into use is a bad call.

I expect them to regret it just like they’re regretting the launch of My AI.
