ChatGPT: A Wonder of today's technology
Ah yes, the improving technology in our world and all these massive AI projects that are trending right now. How cool is it? Well, let's not just say its "cool" but lets also try to understand what this AI is for, the small history of it and those kinds of stuff.
First off, let's just start from the more formal side of our script. What is ChatGPT? Why don't we just ask the man istelf eh? According to ChatGPT itself:
ChatGPT is a large language model trained by OpenAI, based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture. It is designed to generate human-like responses to natural language inputs. The model was trained on a large corpus of text data and can generate coherent and contextually appropriate responses to a wide range of prompts, from simple questions to more complex conversational contexts. ChatGPT is capable of understanding natural language inputs, generating responses that are grammatically correct and semantically relevant. It can be used in a variety of applications, including chatbots, customer service, and personal assistants.
When I was a kid, I asked my father whether there was a software/internet that provided instant answers. Who could've known that after a decade, AI would be this powerful? So who is this "OpenAI" company that just popped out of nowhere the past year who made this powerful AI open for everyone's use?
WHO IS OPENAI?
OpenAI is an American based company which specializes in Artificial Intelligence. It was founded in 2015 by Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, and Wojciech Zaremba, with Sam Altman and Elon Musk serving as the initial board members. Yes, Elon Musk again is one of the founding fathers of a massive company.
OpenAI made headlines when it released its first language model, the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), which was a significant breakthrough in natural language processing. Since then, OpenAI has continued to develop increasingly advanced language models, including GPT-2, GPT-3, and others.Again In 2016, April, OpenAI released a public beta of "OpenAI Gym", its platform for reinforcement learning research. In December 2016, OpenAI released "Universe", a software platform for measuring and training an AI's general intelligence across the world's supply of games, websites, and other applications.
OpenAI spent $7.9 million, or a quarter of its functional expenses, on cloud computing alone. In comparison, DeepMind's total expenses in 2017 were $442 million. In summer 2018, simply training OpenAI's Dota 2 bots required renting 128,000 CPUs and 256 GPUs from Google for multiple weeks.
In 2018, Musk resigned his board seat, citing "a potential future conflict [of interest]" with his role as CEO of Tesla due to Tesla's AI development for self-driving cars. Sam Altman claims that Musk believed OpenAI had fallen behind other players like Google and Musk proposed instead to take over OpenAI himself, which the board rejected. Musk subsequently left OpenAI but claimed to remain a donor, yet made no donations after his departure.
In 2019, OpenAI transitioned from non-profit to "capped" for-profit, with the profit capped at 100 times any investment, allowing it to attract investment and grant employees stakes in the company. The company partnered with Microsoft and announced a $1 billion investment package, with plans to commercially license its technologies. The nonprofit OpenAI Inc. is the sole controlling shareholder of OpenAI LP, and the LP retains a formal fiduciary responsibility to the nonprofit charter.
In 2020, OpenAI released GPT-3, a language model capable of natural language answering of questions, translation, and improvised text generation. They also introduced DALL-E, an AI model that generates digital images from natural language descriptions. In 2022, they launched ChatGPT, which received over a million signups within five days, projecting revenue of $200 million in 2023 and $1 billion in 2024. OpenAI was valued at $29 billion in January 2023, and Microsoft announced a $10 billion investment in OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into their products. On March 14, 2023, OpenAI released GPT-4 as an API and a feature of ChatGPT Plus. They also announced a $1 billion investment from PwC to use GPT-4 and the Microsoft Azure OpenAI service.
Since we have covered the mission of GPT and OpenAI and their history, let's hop on to something that's a bit different: The Dark side of ChatGPT
