OpenAI’s potential $100 billion funding round, with Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Thrive Capital potentially involved, raises questions about the company’s path to profitability and its financial structure. The involvement of Apple is particularly significant as it signals a closer connection between Apple and OpenAI. Microsoft’s potential reduced investment in OpenAI suggests that it is focusing on building its own AI ecosystem. The profitability of OpenAI is questionable, given its high costs and lack of a clear revenue-generating path. Meta AI, built on the llama model, is seen as a bigger threat to OpenAI’s chat GPT than Meta AI’s own product. The limited appeal of generative AI to consumers and the confusion surrounding the business structure of OpenAI and its funding rounds raise red flags.
