Altman maintained his stance as a CEO, even when Elon Musk issued a resignation to the OpenAI board in 2018.
Microsoft caught the developments and started to its investment of $1 billion per year in the chat-based tech in 2019. But after learning about the capabilities of ChatGPT, it wanted to grab the firm and render it as a computing partner to power it Azureās upcoming computing technologies.
Things did not go as per the plan and so the software firm decided now to integrate ChatGPT to āBingā search engine, by investing a few billions of dollars to gain a stance in the said AI companyās trade ratio.
NOTE- Satya Nadella, the chief of Microsoft, tested the answers given by the ChatGPT. He questioned the machine on 4 of the best south Indian breakfasts and the robot answered as Idli, Vada, DOSA and Biryani. Biryani is a non-veg rice pulao that cannot be considered as a breakfast dish and is apt to be included into a lunch or dinner menu. Thus, Mr. Nadella seemed he wasnāt happy with the answer.
