Nick Turley · Inside ChatGPT: The fastest-growing product in history
“ChatGPT feels a little bit like MS-DOS. We haven't built Windows yet, and it will be obvious once we do.”- Nick Turley
Nick Turley joined OpenAI when it was still a research lab — his first task was fixing the blinds. A volunteer hackathon team built what they planned to call 'Chat with GPT-3.5' because they didn't think it would succeed. They shipped it before the holidays expecting to pull it down after getting some data. Sam Altman tweeted it, the dashboard broke from traffic, and it became the fastest-growing consumer product in history — 700 million weekly active users, 10% of the world's population, every week.
