What is the relationship between Elon Musk and OpenAI, and how are they competing?
Elon Musk was one of the original founders of OpenAI alongside Sam Altman, but left the company in 2018. Since then, he has created competing AI products, including his latest chatbot Grok3, to rival OpenAI's offerings like ChatGPT. The competition between them has intensified significantly in the US tech landscape. Musk has made two major moves against OpenAI: offering a substantial $97 billion bid to acquire the company, while simultaneously suing OpenAI for transitioning from a nonprofit to a for-profit business model - a change he believes contradicts the organization's original intent. Both companies are now vying for influence over AI regulation and building relationships with the incoming Trump administration.

How does Grok3 compare with other AI models like ChatGPT and Deep Seek?
According to Elon Musk, Grok3 is superior to both ChatGPT and Deep Seek (the Chinese chatbot that previously demonstrated China's AI advancement). However, tech policy reporter Maria Curie emphasizes that the actual effectiveness of Grok3 can only be determined after it spends more time in the market with broader user testing. Early adopters have provided mixed feedback, with some claiming Grok3 is indeed better than competitors while others disagree. Curie advises patience before making definitive judgments about Grok3's capabilities, suggesting we need more widespread usage data to accurately assess how it truly compares to existing AI models.

What happened with the AI-generated protest video featuring celebrities like Scarlett Johansson?
The AI-generated video fooled many people online and particularly upset Scarlett Johansson. When interviewed, the creator claimed he hadn't heard from any of the celebrities depicted and stated he didn't intend to mislead viewers. Instead, his goal was to spark a conversation around hate speech, particularly regarding Kanye West's anti-Semitic comments. However, as the speaker notes, once content is released on the internet, creators lose control over it. This incident highlights the ethical concerns surrounding AI-generated content that uses celebrity likenesses without consent, demonstrating the growing challenge of distinguishing between authentic and AI-created media.

What are the origins of the viral AI-generated video featuring celebrities protesting against Kanye West?
The viral AI-generated video was created by two men who work for an AI company in Israel. They posted the video online after the Super Bowl as a way to protest Kanye West's anti-Semitic comments and denounce his actions. While they did include a disclaimer identifying it as AI-generated content, this notice was very small in the description, which led many viewers to believe the footage was authentic when it began circulating on social media. Even Rhona Tarrant, CBS News Executive Editor, admitted it took her several viewings to recognize it wasn't real.
