# ChatGPT

## Profile

ChatGPT is OpenAI's flagship conversational AI product. In this vault it is referenced as one of the primary siloed platforms where professionals are currently building and trapping their AI working intelligence.

## Role in the Source

[[entity-nate-b-jones]] uses ChatGPT as a prime example of a system that employs **memory** to create a [[concept-honing-effect]] and platform lock-in (see [[claim-ai-memory-lock-in]]). The personal-vs-corporate ChatGPT split is one of the canonical scenarios producing the [[concept-tool-switching-penalty]] and driving [[claim-shadow-ai-usage]].

## Vendor

Produced by [[entity-openai-d18]], led by [[entity-sam-altman-d18]].
