""There was an earlier prototype that we were quite excited about, but I did not have any feeling of, I want to pick up that thing and take a bite out of it," Altman said during an onstage conversation last week with Ive moderated by Laurene Powell Jobs at the Emmerson Collective's DemoDay. "And then, finally, we got there all of a sudden.""
""I remember he said once early on, we'll know we have the design right?" Altman said. "I don't remember whether he said, when you want to lick it or take a bite out of it, or something like that.""
"When people see their device, Altman said he hopes their reaction is, "That's it." "Like it is so simple, but then it just does, as we were talking about, AI can do just so much for you that so much""
Sam Altman and Jony Ive are collaborating on a consumer device with OpenAI that aims to feel very different from existing products. The device is expected to be available in less than two years. The design approach emphasizes irresistible tactile appeal, with prototypes iterated until they evoked a desire to touch or even take a bite. OpenAI acquired Ive's hardware startup IO for roughly $6.5 billion and plans a family of AI products. The project positions consumer hardware as one of several industries OpenAI intends to disrupt through simple, powerful AI capabilities.
