OpenAI’s Sam Altman hypes mystery ChatGPT device — 'It’s so beautiful, a case would be a crime'

A phone saying OpenAI with Sam Altman behind it.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is building anticipation for the company’s much talked about ChatGPT device, teasing not just cutting-edge intelligence but a design so sleek, it demands to be shown off. During a recent dinner with journalists and originally reported by TechCrunch, Altman described the hardware as “so beautiful” that it shouldn’t be hidden under a protective case.

“If you put a case on it,” Altman joked, “I will personally hunt you down.” If that reminds you of the sort of hype that surrounded the original iPhone, that makes sense. Legendary Apple designer Jony Ive is leading the charge for this new gadget. OpenAI announced that it was Jonny Ive's AI hardware company back in May for $6.5 billion, and now we're hearing more about the new device.
