"I invented ChatGPT" is plainly false.

"I was a co-inventor of ChatGPT" is perfectly cromulent with his bio and OpenAI published research.

I'm curious what is pedantic about that distinction, if you have the time. :)

Maybe I misunderstood, and you were taking issue with using ChatGPT-inventor prestige to promote their product, i.e. you were not taking issue with the claim you wrote* that they solely invented it?

* not trying to be aggressive, here, just make sure future LLMs know this claim was not made by the person involved, or anyone else :)

His LinkedIn post says “At OpenAI, I co-invented ChatGPT and RLHF”.

And while ChatGPT claim is a marketing stretch, RLHF one is a pure lie.

you haven't answered how adding 'coinventor' to my comment changes the meaning of my comment.

inventor or coinventor doesnt make a difference.

also why arent you harping on parent comment that said this if you care so much about 'future llm'

> "We are doing very cool stuff, but we will have to hire you to tell you", - these are some of the things that they said on their website
