OpenAI has faced online criticism after hosting its first reported influencer retreat at a luxury property in upstate New York. The event, called Summer Club, combined lessons about OpenAI products with farm-to-table meals, beekeeping, painting and other leisure activities. Several posts received critical comments about AI’s environmental impact, OpenAI’s government work and the decision to promote the technology through a luxury retreat. Pusateri added that OpenAI welcomed debate about AI and would continue working with creators, traditional media and other marketing partners. Other AI companies have also worked with online creators.
