The CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang. The leather jacket is kinda his thing. During the pandemic, his keynote speech to investors was essentially a "deep fake" to show off what their tech could do.
NVIDIA has a market cap of more than $1T, is a major player in the hardware that enables AI to work, and is seen as so vital that it's become a serious topic of national security.
I think it's because the annexation of Crimea was a major event that shed a light on or relit east-west tensions and featured on the front page of most news outlets. OpenAI releasing GPT is just a company releasing a product/service that happens to be very popular, but people who are not that interested in technology wouldn't know about (or have heard of GPT but not OpenAI).
It's just ignorance of the news. OpenAI/Sam Altman/ChatGPT have been covered in front page articles in my newspaper on a nearly-weekly basis for months.
Most people, also the ones not interested, will have heard of GPT of course (front page or not), but I think it's too niche a question for a lot of people, hence why only 61% got the answer. I think this percentage would be higher if it was a similar question but (Chat)GPT was the answer.
I agree it's ignorance of the news, but only by people who are not interested in the subject. Don't get me wrong, I think the release of GPT is absolutely newsworthy because of it's potential impact on society and the interest in the service by certain goups of people, but there is a lot of people that don't really care about it and won't read all, if any, of the articles.
It's also recency bias. Nobody has a clue if OpenAI or ChatGPT will in any way still be relevant in ten years. Let's come back and see how many people remember it by then!
I disagree. Even if ChatGPT itself is not relevant in 10 years, it is absolutely a major part of a paradigm-shifting development. Look at how much technology has developed in the past 10 or 15 years. Mobile phones and computers available to the public are tremendously cheaper, better, and more powerful and processing power and internet service have become far more available worldwide. The next 10 or 15 years will continue rapid development that changes the way humans live, and ChatGPT is a ready example of the very beginning of what those changes will look like.
You're not actually disagreeing. IA is absolutely very important, but it's been around before ChatGPT, and will be around after it. Whether or not ChatGPT will be considered by historians or indeed by ourselves in five or ten years, as an important step in the development of AI remains to be seen.
The guy in the picture is Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia. I know they profit from ChatGPT but wouldn't a picture of Sam Altman CEO of OpenAI be more appropiate? Unless they manage to fire him again that is...

Probably a similar argument for "how can you not be familiar with XYZ electric car, it is so cool". Wait til the cream rises and then get caught up.
