As we know, OpenAI is an AI research company involved in the development of general artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity as claimed by the company. This company has developed some amazing technologies like DALL-E (creates images from descriptions), ChatGPT (A tool providing a conversational interface using natural language processing and AI/ML technology), and so forth.
Here are the six unheard and unknown facts about OpenAI:
- Elon Musk’s relation with Open AI:
Elon Musk was one of the founding members of the OpenAI Company when it was founded back in December 2015. He left the company in February 2019 because he had to focus on “a painfully large number of engineering & manufacturing problems” at Tesla & SpaceX and also he hadn’t “been involved closely” with OpenAI for more than a year as said Elon in a tweet. Although he left the company, he will continue to donate and advise the organization as said by OpenAI in a blog post.
2. Access to Twitter’s database by the company during the development and training of ChatGPT, a product of OpenAI:
OpenAI was accessing Twitter’s database as a micro-blogging platform’s database for training.
Later on, the CEO of Twitter as well as OpenAI’s co-founder Elon Musk put that on pause.
3. Content Limitation of ChatGPT, a product of OpenAI:
The data, information & content available in ChatGPT are limited to the year 2021 as it completed its training at that time. So it has limited knowledge of events that occurred after the year 2021 which makes it unable to answer current affairs questions.
Interesting Example:
When we ask ChatGPT about the current PM of Nepal, It replies with Khadga Prasad Oli which is wrong info as Pushpa Kamal Dahal is the current PM of Nepal. This error occurred because the knowledge base of ChatGPT ends around the year 2021.
4. OpenAI partnered with Microsoft in 2019 to develop new Azure AI Technology:
Microsoft invested $1 billion to support OpenAI’s aim of building General Artificial Intelligence.
Also, OpenAI and Microsoft planned to collaborate on developing new Azure AI Supercomputing Technology.
5. OpenAI’s ChatGPT-generated text banned by Meta Stack Overflow considering it substantially harmful:
Around the end of 2022, Meta Stack Overflow banned the use of ChatGPT-generated text for content writing stating the average rate of getting correct answers from ChatGPT is too low.
6. ChatGPT: Free? Open-Source? Profit-Oriented?
Although ChatGPT is free to use, in a Twitter reply, CEO Sam Altman stated that the cost per chat was “probably single-digits cents,” leading to a discourse about the future of monetizing the platform and using of Freemium Business Model.
Soon after the beta-testing of the app will be over, there is a high chance of the app being monetized.
