OpenAI has the reputation for protecting its innovations through the use of trade secrets as opposed to patents. However, it appears that this characterisation of OpenAI's strategy is years out of date. This is perhaps not surprising, given that patent applications are not published until 18 months after they are filed, and that OpenAI's major innovation of ChatGPT was first released abou

Receiving and imparting advice allows humans to benefit from the experiences of others, without ever having to suffer the consequences of making the same mistakes themselves.
