It's kinda crazy to think ChatGPT has only been around for less than two years. It's scary how quickly AI is developing.

It's been developing for much longer than that, the first versions from the model are from 2017.

Yep, I remember the jump from 512 to 1024 tokens, the prompt and response together could only be a few hundred words - still seemed like wizardry when I was automating perfunctory work emails in 2018.

I dont understand how a country could change its name in a different language. It's not possible, and absolutely idiotic. It's so braindead I cannot even begin to fathom it...

It's just the formal name, mostly to be used in international stuff. Noone is changing the language. Also note that nobody is calling Iran, Persia anymore so anything can change given enough time.

Meh, even Jetpunk calls it eSwatini and Kyiv, and most sources other than Jetpunk use Côte d'Ivoire. Things can be changed. Not completely by fiat, but people don't ignore it, either.

Don't wanna be that guy but ChatGPT is not a "model" per se, it is an app that allows you to interact with different LLMs (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, GPT-3.5 etc.), the ones from November 2022 are from the GPT-3 family which comes in different versions 🤓

I'm not an expert on this stuff, but I think simply stating "country which Russia invaded" for a quiz about the 2020s is a bit incorrect. Russia initially invaded Ukraine in 2014 and widened the invasion in 2022. I think wording like "country which saw a full-scale invasion by Russia" would be more technically correct. Bit of a nitpick though
