1 Year Later: ChatGPT’s AI Boom Has Everyone Wanting a Piece!
ChatGPT came out a year ago and most of you might think that AI chatbot has been around longer, after all the technology is so much talked about these days. But no, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT around this time last year, and since then we’ve seen the AI chatbot become wildly popular, evolve into new versions, and even make its way to your smartphones.
But here’s the fascinating thing about ChatGPT: artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for years, decades in fact, and somehow this AI chatbot has turned out to be the forerunner of the future technology space. Sam Altman started his first day at ChatGPT as the CEO of OpenAI, and after all the ups and downs, Altman is ending his year in the role. Artificial intelligence is sure to capture everyone’s imagination.
It could be about the ability to create images, content and even an entire letter with AI, or putting millions of jobs at risk because AI is supposed to replace humans and do their jobs better.
Amidst all this hype, you have traditional companies like Microsoft and Google showing their intent to build AI language models that can be as intelligent as us, or perhaps in the future, surpass humans. So when you hear these things, most people fear a future where machines (in this case AI) have more say, but that hasn’t stopped tech giants from adopting their own AI strategies.
AI chatbots are based on knowledge developed by users over the years. You started using ChatGPT by getting basic answers and helping you draft a letter or an abstract of an article.
Gradually, it gained access to the Internet, which meant OpenAI had to open AI channels to subscriptions, which is crucial to keep heavy computing systems running, and that’s where companies like Microsoft come in and offer their vast expertise. . Which brings us to the recent Manic 48 Hour Weekend episode starring Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft, Sam Altman, and OpenAI board members.
Things were moving so quickly, but it also made it clear that a giant like Microsoft definitely needed a better say in OpenAI’s governance, especially since it has invested about $10 billion of its resources into the company. At one point, Altman was made the head of Microsoft’s artificial intelligence research lab, a rubber stamp of Nadella himself.
OpenAI had a replacement up its sleeve in the form of a former Twitch CEO who didn’t last long at the AI company.
Altman is said to have fired because his character was too strong to breed artificial intelligence without complying with the safety of the technology. But Altman’s grip on the company’s people was stronger than anyone on the board knew, and he’s finally back to continue his work and build ChatGPT into a newer future.
