It&#8217;s uncommon for a single tech product to create as much global impact as ChatGPT in just one year.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a computer that can talk to you. Nothing new, right? Those have been around <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ELIZA\">since the 1960s<\/a>. But ChatGPT, the application that first bought <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2023\/07\/a-jargon-free-explanation-of-how-ai-large-language-models-work\/\">large language models<\/a> (LLMs) to a wide audience, felt different. It could compose poetry, seemingly understand the context of your questions and your conversation, and help you solve problems. Within a few months, it became the <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/02\/chatgpt-sets-record-for-fastest-growing-user-base-in-history-report-says\/\">fastest-growing<\/a> consumer application of all time. And it created a frenzy.<\/p>\n<p>During these 365 days, ChatGPT has broadened the public perception of AI, captured imaginations, <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/article\/ai-artificial-intelligence-chatbots-emily-m-bender.html\">attracted critics<\/a>, and stoked existential angst.
