OpenAI Chief Operating Officer discusses ChatGPT, AI development direction, and internal issues. OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap recently gave a media interview, explaining ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence industry, and the details of the company's operations. Lightcap claimed that the company had repeated discussions on whether the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT should be released, and it took a lot of time because it was not 100% certain that this was the right thing to do. However, CEO Ultraman supports the release and believes that text-based interaction with large models requires some important and personal things.
