Summary

  • CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has made ambitious predictions for ChatGPT at a San Francisco dinner with journalists, stating that he believes ChatGPT will soon be having more conversations than all human beings combined.
  • This is slightly risky as the model’s launch came with a less supportive and friendly personality, for which the company has now reversed its position and will be introducing more customised offerings.
  • However, Altman has no doubts that the AI technology is transformative, despite being in a bubble, and will need billions of investment for data centres, a sum that OpenAI is currently seeking to find through novel financial instruments.
  • A recent 300 billion, and a rumoured stock sale will inflate this to $500 billion.
