Did I hear that someone has a birthday today? That’s right, it’s everyone’s favorite language model, a little guy we like to call ChatGPT.
One year ago, OpenAI unleashed its large language model on an unsuspecting world. The company had no idea what was in store. In fact, it was a desperate move. OpenAI had hit technical roadblocks on the path to GPT-4 to drum up interest in the face of technical stumbling blocks. The only real innovation behind ChatGPT’s initial release was slapping a consumer-friendly interface on it; the technology under the hood was almost identical to software that dates back to 2017. But what started as a Hail Mary turned into one of the greatest success stories in tech history, starting a revolution in the public’s perception of artificial intelligence.
And what a year it’s been since then! Here’s a look back on ChatGPT’s biggest moments, with some commentary from the AI itself on its favorite memories.
