The Vision Pro, a mixed-reality headset, has been praised by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as the “second most impressive” technology since the iPhone. Altman stated that the Vision Pro has the potential to usher in a new normal, similar to how the iPhone revolutionized the industry. However, Altman did not specify what he considers to be the most impressive technology, but it is likely he is referring to artificial intelligence, particularly OpenAI’s ChatGPT. ChatGPT, which launched in 2022, has already started to influence industries and daily life in unprecedented ways. Altman has expressed his desire to turn ChatGPT into a supersmart personal assistant for work. Additionally, Altman criticized the name of ChatGPT, suggesting that it is a “horrible name.” Despite his low opinion of the name, Altman believes it may be too well-known to ever change.
