A Reddit user wondering when they signed up for OpenAI dug up a verification email dated October 10, 2022 — more than a month before ChatGPT launched on November 30, 2022. Back then it was just Playground and DALL·E, and nobody around them had heard of OpenAI.
They note how scary the progress in just four years feels, and invite others to search their inbox for their oldest OpenAI email to see who the real OG user is.
