"According to Musk, Apple linking ChatGPT to Siri and other native iPhone features gave OpenAI exclusive access to billions of prompts that only OpenAI can use as valuable training data to maintain its dominance in the chatbot market. However, OpenAI and Apple are now mocking Musk's math in court filings, urging the court to agree that xAI's lawsuit is doomed."
"As OpenAI argued, the estimates in xAI's complaint seemed "baseless," with Musk hesitant to even "hazard a guess" at what portion of the chatbot market is being foreclosed by the OpenAI/Apple deal. xAI suggested that the ChatGPT integration may give OpenAI "up to 55 percent" of the potential chatbot prompts in the market, which could mean anywhere from 0 to 55 percent, OpenAI and Apple noted."
"Musk's company apparently arrived at this vague estimate by doing "back-of-the-envelope math," and the court should reject his complaint, OpenAI argued. That math "was evidently calculated by assuming that Siri fields '1.5 billion user requests per day globally,' then dividing that quantity by the 'total prompts for generative AI chatbots in 2024,'"-"apparently 2.7 billion per day," OpenAI explained."
Elon Musk's xAI sued, alleging that ChatGPT integration with iPhone features gave OpenAI exclusive access to billions of prompts and created a way for Apple to block rivals. The lawsuit followed Musk's complaints on X about Grok not appearing on Apple's "Must Have" apps list while ChatGPT did. xAI estimated the integration could capture "up to 55 percent" of chatbot prompts by dividing Siri's 1.5 billion daily requests by an assumed 2.7 billion total prompts. OpenAI and Apple call those figures baseless back-of-the-envelope math, note the integration is limited to recent iPhone models and requires user opt-in, and ask the court to dismiss the complaint.
