Published 1 day ago | By Editorial Desk
The $70 Chat GPT-branded basketball, introduced by artificial intelligence company OpenAI, sold out within a day of its launch, despite widespread criticism and mockery on social media.
According to the company, the basketball is part of its ‘Pause.Play.Prompt’ campaign, which aims to remind users that creativity is not limited to screens.
The product description states that sometimes the best ideas come during play.
However, the $70 price tag surprised users, as similar quality size 7 rubber basketballs are usually available in the US for around $20.
Due to the high price and GPT branding, the basketball also became the subject of jokes and memes on social media, where several users called it unnecessarily expensive. Despite this, all available units of the product were sold out within 24 hours of its launch.
