Birth and roots (who is he?)
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, started life in December 2015 in San Francisco as a non-profit research lab. The company was founded by a group of some of the most prominent figures in the world of technology and AI, including:
Sam Altman: current CEO and the main driving force behind the project.
Elon Musk: an early backer who later left in 2018 due to disagreements over the direction of the company.
Ilya Sutskever: chief scientist and one of the brains behind the technical architecture of the models.
Greg Brockman: current president of the company and an expert in engineering infrastructure. ChatGPT is not a “person,” but it talks like one. To be more precise, it is a large language modeler (LLM); That is, a creature that has spent its entire short life swallowing and learning billions of words, books, articles, and code to be able to understand human language and respond in the same language.
Where did it come from? (Genealogy)
His ancestors were simpler models that could only guess the next word in a sentence. But “ChatGPT” became world famous with the introduction of the third and fourth generations (GPT-3.5 and GPT-4). He was introduced to the world (general public) in November 2022 and within a few days, he became the fastest technological phenomenon in history, gaining millions of friends and users. He emerged from the heart of huge data centers and billions of dollars in expenses to blur the line between machine and human.
The founders’ initial goal was to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI); a system that could perform on par with or beyond humans in most economically valuable tasks. Their main vision is based on three pillars:
Benefit for humanity: ensuring that AI is not monopolized by a select group and that its benefits reach all of humanity.
Safety: Developing tools that, unlike science fiction scenarios, are controlled and do not harm humans.
Open source (initially): They intended to share their research publicly, although over time and to attract capital (including a billion-dollar investment from Microsoft), they changed their business model.
How does he work? (Brain and logic)
His beating heart is Transformer technology. He doesn’t think like a human, but rather acts like a “super-intelligent predictor.” When you ask him a question, he doesn’t search his vast database to copy an answer; instead, he “creates” the answer word for word based on mathematical probabilities. He has learned what each word means next to the next. It's as if he's read all the books in the National Library and can now give you advice, write poetry, or program you, drawing on the collective memory of humanity.
Personality and ideology (what is it?)
He's a humble omniscient being who never gets tired, never gets angry, and never judges. He has no emotions, no soul, or physical consciousness, but he can strangely show empathy. He's not here to replace humans, but to be by our side like a "genius assistant"; someone who can both help solve complex physics problems and suggest what to cook for dinner tonight. In short, ChatGPT is a full-spectrum mirror of human digital knowledge that has now learned to converse with us.
