Social RoboticsChatGPT launches and passes a million users within days
OpenAI's conversational chatbot, released as a public test in late November 2022, drew more than a million users in under a week.
OpenAI opened ChatGPT to the public as a test at the end of November 2022, and according to company president Greg Brockman more than a million people signed up within five days. Fortune framed the chatbot as a possible threat to the search business because it answers questions in fluent conversational prose. For social robotics the launch was a turning point: a general-purpose dialogue system good enough to hold open-ended conversations suddenly became widely available, and robot makers began wiring large language models into their machines within months.
