The company is in discussions to invest as much as $10 billion in OpenAI, the creator of viral AI bot ChatGPT, according to people familiar with its plans.

Microsoft is already an OpenAI partner — it invested $1 billion in the startup in 2019.

The software maker is putting OpenAI’s image-creation tool, DALL-E, another viral hit, into design software. The bot is capable of responding to queries in a natural and humanlike manner, carrying on a conversation and answering follow-up questions, unlike the basic list of blue links that a Google search provides.Unlike a search on Google or Microsoft’s own Bing, ChatGPT currently offers no context about where it sourced the information it used to build its answers, and OpenAI acknowledges that the tool’s responses can be incorrect and shouldn’t be relied on as accurate.

The startup’s recent investment talks would put its value at $29 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported last week, but it’s not clear that OpenAI is considering a full sale.
