According to Beating Monitor, Tibo Sottiaux, Head of Products at OpenAI, said he was involved in the internal chatbot project LMChat during his time at Google DeepMind. The project existed about a year before the release of ChatGPT and had a product form very similar to the later ChatGPT. Google ultimately did not release it. Sottiaux said the company feared it would disrupt its existing business, and DeepMind was not allowed to launch products that could threaten Google. He previously shared this story in an interview with WIRED.
