Apple stayed out of the game

In any case, the situation in the company is not entirely ideal, its long-time technology director Mira Murati has left, and there is reportedly significant tension in the organization between the security and product teams.
OpenAI is like a comet

Since the advent of the ChatGPT platform, the number of weekly users has grown to 250 million, and the value of OpenAI has risen from $14 billion to the current $157 billion by 2021. Revenue jumped from zero to $3.6 billion, and it’s evident that OpenAI can be a veritable hen laying the proverbial golden eggs for investors.
