Mira Murati will be the interim CEO.

Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,” the company said in its blog post.

        The bot is using AI and arguably the technology of OpenAI to report on the news that a human has lost their job but has no context on what it is reporting.

            Won’t that still be AI just a subset of it? But I guess you mean OpenAI gpt-3/ 4 here.

              Please keep in mind that I am not an expert when it comes to AI/machine learning/Natural Language Processing and have just dabbled in those a few years ago. Also, many of these terms can be confusing because of all the marketing around them.

              But, in short, what I meant was that autotldr is not based on a neural network/deep learning, but “basic” language processing algorithms with simpler statistical models attached to them, if at all.

              What people generally mean with AI is some kind of deep learning which is helpful for more complicated tasks like “learning” about a topic and “understanding” things, but that is not really necessary for summarizing text since language has (mostly) fixed rules. So while there is certainly some overlap in the process, simple language processing does not need “AI” - you’d call it just machine learning, of which AI is generally a subset.

          Yeah, I see your point. Not sure I can do anything about it, but yeah. It’s kind of like an almost unnoticeable line in the sand has been crossed.

          Thank you for taking the time to explain what you meant, I wouldn’t have noticed it otherwise.

            You sound very GPTy.
