ChatGPT Celebrates First Anniversary Amid AI Revolution

OpenAI's AI-driven personal assistant marks a year of transforming public perception of AI, inspiring a wave of similar models, and overcoming internal company turmoil.

ChatGPT, the AI-driven personal assistant developed by OpenAI, celebrates its first anniversary, having revolutionized the public's perception of artificial intelligence and becoming one of the fastest-growing apps in history with over 100 million users.
Despite initial safety measures, users found ways to bypass ChatGPT's limitations, highlighting the difficulty tech companies face in controlling these tools.
ChatGPT's success has spurred the development of other large language models (LLMs) by companies such as Anthropic, Google, and Meta, democratizing the AI assistant space.
ChatGPT's capabilities have expanded over the year, now including voice commands and image inputs, and it has been integrated into various tasks such as writing, summarizing large texts, brainstorming, and executing business plans.
OpenAI faced internal turmoil with the firing and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman, which led to a major reshuffling of the board of directors.
