OpenAI mocks Musk’s math in suit over iPhone/ChatGPT integration

OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk's xAI lawsuit against Apple, claiming that the lawsuit's assertion that Apple gave ChatGPT a monopoly on prompts is "baseless." The lawsuit alleges that Apple's policies, which restrict the ability of third-party AI assistants to integrate with the iPhone's voice assistant, Siri, are anti-competitive. However, OpenAI argues that the lawsuit's claims about the math behind its allegations are flawed. The company states that the lawsuit's calculations are "nonsensical" and that the claims made about the potential impact on ChatGPT's market share are not supported by evidence. OpenAI maintains that its own business model and product offerings are not dependent on integrating with Siri or other Apple technologies. The company asserts that it is focused on developing its own AI capabilities and that it does not rely on Apple's ecosystem to succeed. Overall, OpenAI's response aims to dismiss the xAI lawsuit as unfounded and to emphasize its own independence from Apple's policies and technologies.
