The project that led to ChatGPT began as Web GPT, which utilized retrieval to provide information and cite sources, ultimately evolving into ChatGPT due to its unique dialogue capabilities.

When ChatGPT was released, lawyers realized it would fundamentally change their work, prompting them to seek out AI solutions like ours.

The consensus two years ago was that the launch of ChatGPT would benefit OpenAI exclusively, but many successful AI applications have emerged from startups instead.

I hope future versions of ChatGPT will be tools that enhance our creativity, allowing us to think of ideas we couldn't before and be more creative than we currently are. Using tools like ChatGPT will enhance how we write, similar to how people adapt to any new technology, expanding human possibilities.

The launch of ChatGPT has significantly raised public awareness about AI, making it accessible beyond just large corporations.

Midjourney and Character AI were released before ChatGPT, creating early niche communities of adopters that contributed to the rise of AI awareness leading up to ChatGPT's popularity.

The total addressable market for ChatGPT includes any task that requires thought or action that users prefer to delegate to AI, raising concerns about dependency on technology. AI should enhance your expertise in areas of interest and alleviate the burden of mundane tasks.

The term "GPT wrapper" emerged to describe generative AI applications built on top of ChatGPT, which raised concerns about the sustainability of such models as OpenAI continues to innovate and dominate the market.

I use ChatGPT as a general-purpose tool, and I hope to integrate it into most aspects of my work in the future as it continues to improve.
