OpenAI is making merry with the launch of ChatGPT
He also had a warning for investors looking to bet on language models companies like OpenAI.
OpenAI has made its reputation in the market for developing ChatGPT and every big tech giant wants a piece of the AI chatbot, something that Microsoft has got thanks to its $10 billion reported investment in the company. But many veteran techies have a keen eye on the evolution of OpenAI, one of them being an investor in the company, who was recently quizzed about the last question he asked ChatGPT.
Speaking at the MoneyControl Startup Conclave 2023 via a video conference, Indian-American Billionaire Vinod Khosla was asked about the last question he asked ChatGPT when OpenAI was moving from a non-profit to a private entity in 2019.
He was quoted saying that he uses ChatGPT a lot, and mostly wanted help with his interests in gardening from the AI chatbot. “ I use ChatGPT a lot. I happen to have some very esoteric questions about my gardens, so the last question was based on my gardening habits,” the billionaire businessman revealed. “I love gardening,” Khosla said during the event.
His firm Khosla Ventures is said to be one of the lead investors in OpenAI, which also includes Microsoft and Reid Hoffman Foundation, as per the report. But it seems the bet to invest in the AI firm was not always seen as the right call.
The OpenAI investor had a word of caution for anybody looking to invest in foundational models like OpenAI. “We had bet on OpenAI some years ago when everyone was calling it a ‘silly investment’. There will be a new development environment in the US, due to a large language model (LLM) based apps,” he said.
Khosla also shared his experience of working with OpenAI and where he sees artificial intelligence headed in the future. The investment made in OpenAI by his firm had definitely paid dividends but with more language models coming up, the market is likely to become heavily saturated with AI tech for the industry to largely become an application-based ecosystem.
