In addition to financial issues, the chatbot's performance has also been criticized, with a recent report suggesting that the tool's responses have worsened despite efforts to improve its usability. OpenAI's APIs have gained interest from organizations, but the company's goal of making a profit seems to be at odds with Sam Altman's focus on achieving AGI superintelligence. The company aims to make $200 million in annual revenue in 2023, and $1 billion in 2024, a target that seems ambitious given the current state of affairs.
Key takeaways:
- ChatGPT, OpenAI's chatbot, is reportedly heading toward bankruptcy due to high running costs and a decline in user base.
- OpenAI is experiencing financial difficulties, with a daily running cost of approximately $700,000 for ChatGPT and a reported loss of $540 million since the chatbot's inception.
- Despite the challenges, OpenAI is aiming for $200 million in annual revenue in 2023, and $1 billion in 2024 from its GPT-4 LLMs.
- There is an increased shortage of GPUs in the market, which is affecting the operation of AI-powered tools like ChatGPT.
