Sam Altman Criticizes Slack for Creating Fake Work at Tech Companies

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the popular communication platform Slack. He finds that Slack often creates “fake work” in tech companies by overwhelming users with notifications and requiring excessive human intervention. Altman believes that AI can replace Slack and even Microsoft Office, envisioning a future where most work is managed automatically without human input. This comment has sparked attention from tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has a history of controversy with OpenAI.
