Since its launch in 2022, ChatGPT has been at the tip of the spear when it comes to AI's presence in the mainstream. ChatGPT is to AI as Google is to search engines. Yes, there are others, but OpenAI's chatbot has seemingly captured the zeitgeist of the LLM sphere.
In the two years since its public launch, ChatGPT hasn't just been amassing a considerable userbase (which as of August 2024 is reported to be over 200 million active users per week, double the figure that was reported in November 2023), it has released several new models including GPT-4, 4o, and o1—each inching the OpenAI's chatbot ever closer to the company's long-standing goal of developing AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).
