Here’s why OpenAI CEO Sam Altman doesn’t use ChatGPT as much as you might think
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company behind the generative AI chatbot – ChatGPT, has revealed his most used app on his phone. And no, it’s not ChatGPT, as you might have guessed.
On Microsoft founder Bill Gates’ podcast, “Unconfuse Me with Bill Gates,” Gates asked Altman about his most used phone app. Altman revealed that his most used app is Slack, a popular team communication app. Apple’s iMessage came in second, and this also confirms that Altman uses the iPhone as his primary device.
“Loose. I wish I could say ChatGPT. A close second is iMessage,” Altman told Gates after discussing the most used apps on their phones. “I didn’t count the browser as an app. It’s possible I’ll use it more, but I’m still betting on Slack. I’m on Slack all day,” he added.
However, Slack has become the go-to team communication app for many organizations thanks to its functional and versatile user interface. Given that Sam Altman is leading OpenAI as CEO, the usage of his app will naturally increase.
Bill Gates says that Microsoft Outlook is his most used phone application
As expected, Gates was also quick to share his most used application – Microsoft Outlook. He uses Outlook for his email, and the closest Gates chose was his phone’s web browser to surf the web and read news articles.
The podcast then went on to discuss how Altman and Gates are both concerned about the rapid pace at which everyday people and seasoned experts must learn to adapt. Altman also talked about his firing and subsequent rehiring as CEO of OpenAI last November, and how Microsoft’s Satya Nadella wanted to hire him and many other OpenAI employees.
