There was a chatgpt before November of last year?

ChatGPT is just InstructGPT with prompt engineering to make the model behave like it's having a conversation. There was probably some additional fine-tuning done to make it self aware (think of the "I am a chat bot trained by OpenAI" spiel), but personally it has comparable performance to text-davinci-003 which was released Nov of last year (Nov 2022).

It was called text-davinci-002 on OpenAI playground. This is a less-than-revolutionary training improvement and a better UI.

ChatGPT is basically text-davinci-003 and was trained in early 2022 but not released then.
