What is OpenAI?
The company behind ChatGPT and GPT — the one that put generative AI on the map for the general public.
// Explanation
OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and others. It later became a capped-profit company. It created the GPT models, the ChatGPT assistant, and DALL-E for images. In November 2022, it launched ChatGPT and forever changed the public perception of AI. Today it's the most influential company in the AI ecosystem, with Microsoft as its main investor.
// Example
When someone says 'I asked the AI' without specifying which one, they probably used OpenAI's ChatGPT.
