OpenAI is a synthetic media production company, they literally produce images, text, & video + audio to engage their users. The fact that people think OpenAI is an intelligence company is a testament to how good their marketing is at convincing people they are more than a synthetic media production company. This is also true for xAI & Grok. Most consumer AI companies are in the business of generating engaging synthetic media to keep their users glued to their interfaces for as long as possible.
