Nicholas Turley, the 30-year-old brain behind ChatGPT's product development, takes a break from the digital world every weekend. The offline vibe is quite unusual in Silicon Valley's workaholic culture, but it suits Turley just fine. These words come straight from the man himself, caught up in the buzz of the OMR digital and marketing trade fair in Hamburg.
Since joining OpenAI in 2022, Turley has been a critical player in Crafting ChatGPT, the chatbot that's taken the AI world by storm. Hailing from Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, Turley is one of the notable speakers at the OMR festival, gracing the exhibition halls for two days.
On a personal note, Turley relies on ChatGPT daily, using it to stay updated on AI advancements and organize his hectic work schedule. He even seeks guidance on DIY projects or baking, finding it more convenient than calling his Mom, considering the time difference between San Francisco and Germany.
But when it comes to friendships, Turley prefers the real deal. He'd never use AI for such interpersonal connections. Some might argue differently, but for Turley, friendships remain a deeply personal matter.
