On Monday, during OpenAI’s DevDay conference, an unexpected detail caught everyone’s attention: CEO Sam Altman‘s typing skills. Although the small typos he made may seem inconsequential, they dispelled any rumors of him being a humanoid.

So, what exactly happened?

During the conference, while demonstrating ChatGPT’s ability to create custom GPT versions without needing code, Altman made several typing mistakes in his prompts. For example, “things” was typed as “thigns,” and “that’s” was typed as “tjats.”

Now, this doesn’t imply that Altman doesn’t know how to spell these words (as he corrected them in some instances). It simply suggests that he’s a “bad typist.”

While Altman is not the only person to make such typos regularly, it does raise an “intriguing possibility.”

What if Altman’s pursuit of creating ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot capable of generating human-like text, was born out of his imperfect typing skills?

Notopoulos posed this somewhat far-fetched but intriguing theory.
