Hey folks, I've been curious about who actually came up with the AI behind ChatGPT. I know it's a big deal in tech and kinda changed how we think about AI, but who started it all? Anyone got the lowdown?

It’s crazy how much this tech evolved so fast. I read somewhere Elon Musk helped fund OpenAI in the beginning but isn’t involved now?
I remember the original GPT was released in 2018, then GPT-2 and GPT-3 followed. ChatGPT came later as a user-friendly front end.
I think OpenAI is the org behind it, but I'm not sure who the main people are.
The GPT part stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, right? So it’s based on transformer models that were invented earlier?
I always wondered if it was just one person or like a whole team? Seems like tons of folks.
