In reality, it was annoying, error-prone, and we were always late. Someone had to remember, look up release notes, update our CI matrix, and push a commit. Sometimes we missed a release for weeks, even months. Sometimes we forgot to remove an EOL version. It was busywork, not engineering. So we automate

OpenAI Reveals How (and Which) People Are Using ChatGPT

They have also been a bit of a black box in terms of who is using them and what they are doing with them. OpenAI, with some help from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), set out to figure out what exactly its growing user base is getting up to with its chatbot. It found a surprising amount of personal use and a closing “gender gap” among its frequent users.
