ChatGPT: AI-Powered Chatbot Gains Popularity and Faces Criticism

OpenAI's AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT, has gained significant popularity with over 100 million weekly active users and heavy investment from Fortune 500 companies. The company recently held its first developer conference, announcing updates including GPT-4 Turbo and a multimodal API. However, leadership changes have taken place, with former CEO Sam Altman being removed from his role and Mira Murati filling in as interim CEO. The chatbot has faced criticism for potentially harmful content and experienced outages due to a DDoS attack.
