AI is way older than the public release of ChatGPT. GPT-1, OpenAI’s first version of what would become ChatGPT, was released in 2018, for example, and OpenAI itself was founded in 2015, DeepMind was founded 2010, and IBM Watson competed on Jeopardy! in 2011. Furthermore, Alan Turing wrote about a lot of the ideas that are now being used in AI research in the 1940s, fuzzy logic and natural language processing were developed in the 1960s, and so on. This stuff didn’t come out of nowhere, you just didn’t know about it before ChatGPT.

It says it’s been doing this for 8 years. So, since AI hasn’t even been around that long, does that mean they were always like this and just lied that they switched over to AI? I wonder if they just encouraged the current employees to field the response and then they would run it through another AI to provide answers. Either way there had to be some delay which I feel would have been the dead giveaway?

People have been scamming AI for way longer than 8 years. Eight years ago I had a colleague who used to work for an AI start-up that he said was actually a room full of old ladies.

Using machine learning including neuronal networks, generative AI based off of neuronal networks and so on exist well longer than since the past few years.
“DeepDream” was released as a software ten years ago. Research into LLMs exists since at least the 90s.
“AI” also has been a hype term in many industries since a decade, just that it reached the general public with the ChatGPT hype.
