A 2023 study reported that GPT-4 obtained a better score than 99% of humans on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking.
The company announced a slew of generative AI-powered features to
counter OpenAI and Microsoft. Their leaders emphasized their earlier caution regarding public deployment was due to the trust the public places in Google Search.
ChatGPT gained one million users in five days and 100 million in two months, becoming the fastest-growing internet application in history.
Kelsey Piper of Vox wrote that "ChatGPT is the general public's first hands-on introduction to how powerful modern AI has gotten" and that ChatGPT is "smart enough to be useful despite its flaws".

As before, OpenAI has not disclosed technical details such as the exact number of parameters or the composition of its training
dataset.
It was capable of autonomously performing tasks through web browser interactions, including filling forms, placing online orders, scheduling appointments, and other browser-based tasks.
These include, among many others, writing and debugging
computer programs, composing music, scripts, fairy tales, and essays, answering questions (sometimes at a level exceeding that of an average human test-taker), and generating business concepts.
It is designed to generate human-like text and can carry out a wide variety
of tasks. ChatGPT's training data includes software
manual pages, information about internet phenomena
such as bulletin board systems, multiple programming languages, and the text
of Wikipedia.
Additionally, using a model's outputs might violate copyright, and the model creator could
be accused of vicarious liability and held responsible for that
copyright infringement. When assembling training data, the sourcing
of copyrighted works may infringe on the copyright holder's exclusive right to control
reproduction, unless covered by exceptions in relevant copyright laws.
Andrew Ng argued that "it's a mistake to fall for the doomsday hype on AI?and that regulators who do will only benefit vested interests." Yann LeCun dismissed doomsday warnings of AI-powered misinformation and existential threats to the
human race. Juergen Schmidhuber said that in 95% of cases, AI research is
about making "human lives longer and healthier and easier." He added that while AI can be used by
bad actors, it "can also be used against the bad actors".
A May 2023 statement by hundreds of AI scientists,
AI industry leaders, and other public figures demanded that "[m]itigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority".
