After reading about ChatGPT development at MIT Tech Review, I speculated that someone at OpenAI (Sutskever?) had the brilliant marketing idea of making GPT 3.5 talk. Your brief history of AI in 2022, especially the fracas around Google's chatbot, strengthens this theory. Marketing is the selling of ideas and the launch of ChatGPT, as with previous rapidly-adopted engineering breakthroughs, sold the idea of (working) "AI" to the masses.
Yes, definitely - I don't know that OpenAI realized how big it would get but I can definitely imagine they thought the conversation aspect was key. And the UI was perfect to get people going immediately
So gracious of you to write this. Makes me really trust your takes on stuff. Thanks.
I think I had seen other chatbots in the months before ChatGPT came out and didn't immediately see how different this was from the others
Amazing perspective. How the world has changed

Probably someone at an OpenAI meeting said: "Turing test? Yes!!!"
Ha! Indeed
