ChatGPT Updated as Developer OpenAI Forecasts $1bn in Revenue by 2024

The massively popular chatbot will soon have daily usage restrictions and a history of previous chats in an effort to perform better.

The first significant update to OpenAI popular chatbot ChatGPT since its launch last month includes performance improvements and daily usage limitations. In a recent upgrade to its revenue forecast, the business predicted it might earn $200 million this year and $1 billion in 2024.

With more than a million users in less than a week and a reputation for producing lengthy, intricate, and precise texts, ChatGPT was a huge success for OpenAI. Others complained about errors, and the coding community StackOverflow prohibited using them in answers to users’ inquiries about programming.

Sam Altman, chief executive officer of OpenAI, has recommended caution, saying that “it’s a mistake to be depending on [ChatGPT] for anything essential right now, it’s a preview of development,” and that there is still much work to be done on the system’s reliability and objectivity.

With performance-related modifications to its algorithm, the most recent version strives to improve ChatGPT’s usability and reliability in the first of those categories. Users will notice that ChatGPT is less likely to decline to answer inquiries now, according to OpenAI, among other enhancements.

The business is also thinking about implementing daily message restrictions, which would limit some high-intensity users to a specific amount of responses each day in order to lessen the overall strain on the engine, in order to enhance the overall performance for all users. If you belong to this group, OpenAI stated that you will be given the chance to increase your access by offering ChatGPT comments.

ChatGPT update: feedback is ‘essential’

Using user feedback on responses that don’t perform well, ChatGPT is a “research preview” that will be used to better train the model before a future release of a commercial API. The usage restrictions appear to be a strategy for increasing user feedback.

We are aware that there are still a lot of constraints, according to OpenAI. “We intend to update the model frequently to achieve progress in these areas. But, we also expect that by making ChatGPT accessible, we will receive insightful user feedback on problems we are not currently aware of.

Users are urged to share their thoughts on problematic model outputs through the UI as well as on false positives and false negatives from the external content filter, which is also a component of the interface.

We are especially interested in feedback on negative outcomes that could happen under non-adversarial, real-world circumstances as well as feedback that enlightens us on new risks and potential defences.

The last new feature, which has not yet been implemented but is “coming soon,” will allow users to access earlier discussions they had with the chatbot in the hopes that this will cut down on the number of times they ask the same question repeatedly.

In the near future, ChatGPT will allow you to see previous discussions, rename your saved talks, and delete any that you don’t want to keep. This feature is being gradually rolled out, the business said in the update notice.

OpenAI targets $1bn revenue in two years

The success of ChatGPT coincides with a bold revenue forecast from Microsoft-backed OpenAI, which, according to Reuters, is expected to reach $1 billion by 2024. Given that the most recent reported revenue for 2021 was $59.6 million and that $200 million is expected for the following year, this accomplishment seems huge.

The business, which Altman, Elon Musk, and others created initially as a non-profit research organisation, is now estimated to be worth approximately $20 billion after experiencing a sharp increase in growth over the past year thanks to generative AI models like DALL-E2 and ChatGPT.

A few cents are charged each image or every few thousand words of text when developers and businesses use OpenAI’s API. Additionally, it has partnerships with copywriting start-ups like Synthesia and Shutterstock to offer generative AI graphics in their stock libraries.

Brad Smith, the president of Microsoft, told Reuters that “we’re going to see advances in 2023 that folks two years ago would have predicted in 2033,” which has contributed to some of this increased growth potential.
