OpenAI may have looked to a sci-fi dystopia to draw inspiration for a new AI model.
The ChatGPT developer worked on an AI model codenamed Arrakis, The Information reported.
Arrakis is the name of a desert planet from the sci-fi story "Dune."

OpenAI reportedly scrapped the launch of an AI model named after the dystopian desert world of science-fiction epic "Dune" after it failed to meet expectations.
