My take is that Elon’s basically saying:

We don’t give a s%#* about people wanting to use AI to write SEO spam, automate their customer support or generate content to keep the kids quiet. We want to use this tech as a tool to solve real world problems in a way that, looking back 500 years from now, people will see this as a time of innovation, rather than a time of decline.

Wether he’ll succeed is a different question, of course. But such a direction is clearly missing in the other players. They are just too eager to cater to the laziest segment of the economy of bits. They’re about changing pixels on other people’s screen.

This is probably the response Elon is looking for when he simply writes something vague that can elicit the imagination of any applicant’s specific worldview.

Deepmind ,which was probably the top dog in cutting edge AI before openAI, was solving protein folding

Also, all previous engineering efforts were about changing scrawley symbols on pieces of paper. /s
