Even though Microsoft invested $13 billion in OpenAI, the relationship between the two companies has deteriorated significantly in recent months.
Microsoft has decided to put OpenAI on its list of competitors, due to the fact that the companies are now competing with each other in terms of both artificial intelligence and online search.

In the past, Microsoft has singled out Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta as its main competitors, according to CNBC .
