OpenAI introduced a long-form question-answering AI called ChatGPT that answers complex questions conversationally. It’s a revolutionary technology because it’s trained to learn what humans mean when they ask a question. Here’s everything about who founded it.
Over the last few weeks, OpenAI’s ChatGPT project has gained massive popularity — so much that traffic regularly crashes the bot — as it gives users AI responses to whatever random questions they manage to think of.
Microsoft hopes to drive more traffic to Bing by integrating the project into its search engine, according to The Information.
The website has reported that Microsoft is looking to rival Google’s popularity with the addition this spring. They added: “Microsoft is preparing to launch a version of its Bing search engine that uses the artificial intelligence behind ChatGPT to answer some search queries rather than just showing a list of links, according to two people with direct knowledge of the plans.”
Those who have been on the internet for a long time may remember Ask Jeeves. Originally launched in 1996, users were able to search for something in question form to receive a direct answer from a butler-style avatar on the side of the screen.
Since OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been spreading like wildfire, many users are awed at its ability to provide human-quality responses, inspiring the feeling that it may eventually have the power to disrupt how humans interact with computers and change how information is retrieved. Many of its users are curious to know about the brain(s) behind it. So, who owns ChatGPT?
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a large language model chatbot developed by OpenAI based on GPT-3.5. It has a remarkable ability to interact in conversational dialogue form and provide responses that can appear surprisingly human.
Large language models perform the task of predicting the next word in a series of words.
Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) is an additional layer of training that uses human feedback to help ChatGPT learn the ability to follow directions and generate responses that are satisfactory to humans.
Who made ChatGPT?
ChatGPT was created by San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company OpenAI. OpenAI Inc. is the non-profit parent company of the for-profit OpenAI LP.
OpenAI is famous for its well-known DALL·E, a deep-learning model that generates images from text instructions called prompts.
The CEO is Sam Altman, who previously was president of Y Combinator.
Microsoft is a partner and investor in the amount of $1 billion dollars. They jointly developed the Azure AI Platform.
A brief history of OpenAI proves Elon Musk was a co-founder.
OpenAI released a demo of ChatGPT and the conversational chatbot quickly went viral on social media.
Elon Musk and former Y Combinator president Sam Altman cofounded OpenAI in 2015.
At the time Musk said OpenAI was the “biggest existential threat” to humanity.
Over the following year, OpenAI released two products.
In 2018, three years after helping to found the company Elon Musk resigned from OpenAI’s board of directors.
Musk later said he quit the company because he “didn’t agree with some of what [the] OpenAI team wanted to do.”
Musk has continued to take issues with Open AI in recent years.
In 2019, the company built an AI tool that could craft fake news stories.
That same year OpenAI shed its status as a nonprofit.
OpenAI announced a partnership with Microsoft at the end of 2019. Microsoft invested an amount of $1 billion dollars. OpenAI and Microsoft developed the Azure AI Platform.
Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) is in talks to invest $10 billion in ChatGPT-owner OpenAI as part of the funding that will value the firm at $29 billion, Semafor reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
In 2021 the company launched an AI art generator.
While the OpenAI chatbot has taken off over the past weeks, an updated version of the software could be launched.
Why did Elon Musk leave OpenAI?
In 2018, three years after helping to found the company Elon Musk resigned from OpenAI’s board of directors.
Musk said he quit the company because he “didn’t agree with some of what [the] OpenAI team wanted to do.”
In 2019, the billionaire said on Twitter that Tesla was also competing for some of the same employees as OpenAI, adding that he hadn’t been involved with the company for “over a year.”
