ChatGPT, OpenAI’s text-generating AI chatbot, has become widely popular since its launch in November 2022. Originally designed to enhance productivity by assisting in writing essays and code with short text prompts, ChatGPT is now a widely-used tool, with over 92% of Fortune 500 companies utilizing it.
This rapid growth has positioned OpenAI as a highly acclaimed company, especially with its recent partnership with Apple for the upcoming Apple Intelligence generative AI offering, boosting its presence in the AI industry.
The year 2024 marked the release of GPT-4o, OpenAI’s latest flagship omni model designed for ChatGPT. GPT-4o, now the default free model, offers voice and vision capabilities. However, OpenAI faced criticism after allegations that one of its voices, Sky, was imitating Scarlett Johansson’s voice from the movie “Her.”
OpenAI has been dealing with internal challenges, including the departure of co-founder Ilya Sutskever and the dissolution of its Superalignment team. Additionally, the company is embroiled in a lawsuit with Alden Global Capital-owned newspapers, including the New York Daily News and the Chicago Tribune, over alleged copyright infringement.
The timeline of ChatGPT product updates and releases is extensive, with the latest features and partnerships continuously evolving. Users with questions can refer to the ChatGPT FAQ for more information.
