OpenAI is working on a new social network. It wants to make sure only real people can join. This is to stop bots from causing trouble. Bots are fake accounts that spread bad information and spam. The team making this network is small. They are thinking about using special tech to check if users are real. This could be like using your face or eye scan to prove you are a person. But some people worry about privacy. They say this kind of check can be risky.
Other big social networks like Instagram and TikTok already have many users. It will be hard for OpenAI to compete. But OpenAI has made popular apps before, like ChatGPT. So, they know how to attract people. Bots have been a big problem on social media. They make it hard to trust what you see online. OpenAI's new network could be a fresh start. But it needs to be careful. It must protect people's privacy while keeping bots out. OpenAI has not said when this network will launch. It might change a lot before it is ready. For now, it is just an idea. But if it works, it could change how we use social media.
