  • The rows for 2023 March 1 and March 2 about the launch of the ChatGPT API seem to be duplicative of each other. Could they be consolidated.✔

The free version of ChatGPT isn't helpful for writing a timeline of ChatGPT since the free version of ChatGPT is "based on information available up to September 2021" which is prior to the release of ChatGPT on November 30, 2022.

Extended timeline

Year Month and date Domain Event type Details
2019 May 7 Adam King on Twitter launches “TalktoTransformer.com”, a site where people can have an interface to play with OpenAI's new text-generating language model.[1]
2019 May 9 Hugging Face launches open-source conversational AI demo French company Hugging Face releases a conversational AI demo based on GPT-2 models. The company believes that open-source and knowledge sharing should be the default, and that the progress of deep learning for NLP is at risk without open-source. While they are firm believers in open-source, they also understand that technology is not neutral and specific action must be taken to ensure a positive impact. The company analyzed the potential malicious use of the technology, and concluded that it could be used for drastic improvement of spambots or mass catfishing and identity fraud. To mitigate these risks, Hugging Face provides users with some simple tricks to recognize the conversational AI from a human conversation.[2]
2023 February 25 ChatAug, ChatGPT-based data augmentation for NLP tasks A paper introduces ChatAug, a text data augmentation approach based on ChatGPT, to mitigate the challenge of limited sample sizes in natural language processing tasks, particularly in few-shot learning scenarios. The proposed approach rephrases each sentence in the training samples into multiple conceptually similar but semantically different samples to ensure the faithfulness and completeness of the generated data. The experiment results demonstrate that ChatAug outperforms state-of-the-art text data augmentation methods in terms of testing accuracy and distribution of the augmented samples.[3]
2023 March 29 1,000 signatories call for AI research halt An "open letter" is published by Elon Musk (who by this time is no longer a member of OpenAI's board of directors) along with approximately 1,000 other signatories, including Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple Inc. The letter requests a halt of six months in AI research. If researchers working on AI are unable to implement the pause, the letter proposes that federal and state governments intervene and enforce a moratorium.[4]
2023 March 30 Significant Gravitas releases AutoGPT Developer Significant Gravitas posts Auto-GPT on GitHub. It is a freely available experimental software that demonstrates the potential of the GPT-4 language model. Using this software, GPT-4 powers a sequence of LLM "thoughts" to accomplish a desired task in an automated fashion. It represents one of the initial instances of GPT-4 functioning completely independently and represents a significant advancement in the capabilities of AI. As the name suggests, AutoGPT does all the prompting for the user automatically.[5]
