Reflecting on One Year of ChatGPT: Memorable Milestones Following the Launch of OpenAI’s Free AI Chatbot

ChatGPT, the popular chatbot from OpenAI, has seen significant growth and development since its initial release in preview form a year ago. OpenAI has introduced a premium subscription service allowing paying users to access a more powerful version of the chatbot, early access to upcoming features, and reduced downtime. ChatGPT is also utilized to power Microsoft’s Bing Chat and has been updated with support for plugins, and a more powerful version has been unveiled.

The evolution of ChatGPT from a free AI chatbot to the release of the powerful new GPT-4 Turbo for paying subscribers marks a significant transformation for the chatbot over the course of a year.

OpenAI initially launched ChatGPT powered by GPT-3.5 in 2022, and later rolled out an optional premium subscription plan called ChatGPT Plus. The company also introduced a ChatGPT API, unveiling plugins and GPT-4 models, and later brought the chatbot to iOS and Android with powerful new features. The AI firm recently revealed GPT-4 Turbo, an enhanced version of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model with advanced capabilities.

This represents an impressive trajectory for ChatGPT, showcasing how the chatbot has continued to evolve, gain new features, and increase in functionality over time.
