The Next Generation has been quietly launched by OpenAI. Learn all about Operator, multi-tasking AI expert that will boost the productivity of humanity

The Start of the AI Age: November 22, 2022

The AI revolution officially began on November 22, 2022, with the public release of GPT-3. Known as the first Generative AI, GPT-3 was an app that grew faster than any before it, reaching 100 million active users in just two weeks.

Its task was simple yet groundbreaking: predict the next word in a sequence. While its simplicity belied its potential, GPT-3 quickly showed it could produce essays, code, poetry, and more, redefining creativity itself.

Even Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, was taken by surprise—he once believed AI would primarily replace blue-collar jobs, not dominate creative industries. He was wrong.
