ChatGPT AI

Since its November 2022 launch, ChatGPT, OpenAI’s text-generating AI chatbot, has swept the globe. Over 92% of Fortune 500 businesses utilize this massive application, which began as a way to write essays and code with short text prompts to boost productivity.

Due to its expansion, OpenAI has become one of the most talked-about businesses in recent years. Additionally, the company has gained a big advantage in the AI race because to its most recent agreement with Apple for Apple Intelligence, the company’s impending generative AI solution.

GPT-4o, OpenAI’s new flagship omni model for ChatGPT, was also released in 2024. The free GPT-4o model, which has speech and vision capabilities, is now the default model. But after demoing GPT-4o, OpenAI paused one of its voices, Sky, after allegations that it was mimicking Scarlett Johansson’s voice in “Her.”

Internal turmoil at OpenAI includes the significant departure of co-founder and seasoned chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who left the business when the Superalignment team was disbanded. Following a similar complaint brought by The New York Times last year, OpenAI is also facing a lawsuit for claimed copyright infringement from newspapers controlled by Alden Global Capital, including the New York Daily News and the Chicago Tribune.
