      Well that’s just straight up not true.

      OpenAI owns ChatGPT. Microsoft is a partner, but not an owner.

        49% ownership means they dictate what Open AI does. Don’t kid yourself.

          Sure, but to say Microsoft owns OpenAI is still disingenuous without that disclaimer.

            It’s a distinction only legally.

            At 49% ownership and being 100x the value of Open AI that is effectively the same as full control. Open AI cannot blink without Microsoft getting right of first refusal.
