I used that API. It was literally autocomplete — if you wanted it to answer a question, you had to start with, say:

-

Translate into German:

Q: "Good Morning" A: "Guten Morgen"

Q: "<the thing you actually wanted to translate>

-

And even then it might answer with "Good Morning" in five different languages.

InstructGPT is what turned GPT-3 into the ChatGPT-3.5 model.

Note that GP said "since GPT 3" but the parent responded with "ChatGPT". My response was to clarify the timeframe that has elapsed since GPT-3.

GPT-2 was released November, 2019, so that's five years ago. GPT-3 isn't the advancement to look at, but ChatGPT, which didn't use GPT-3, but a newer RLHF'd model, based off GPT-3, has the 2022 launch date.
