You can now go to ChatGPT by typing "AI.com." OpenAI must have paid millions of dollars for it.
ChatGPT just got a big update that will make it much easier to use the AI chatbot.
OpenAI's ChatGPT is now linked to the domain name AI.com (Opens in a new tab). The domain was bought in 2021, but a real website didn't show up until this week.
Jeffrey Gabriel of Saw.com, a well-known domain broker, said he helped make the sale happen. Mashable talked to him to find out more. Gabriel was the broker involved in the record-breaking sale of Sex.com for $13 million in 2010.
Gabriel said that he couldn't say for sure who bought AI.com because of the terms of the sale, but the conversation didn't leave much room for doubt. Other ideas, like that someone did OpenAI a huge, multimillion-dollar favor, are hard to believe.
Mashable asked OpenAI to confirm that it was the buyer of the domain, but the company has not yet responded.
Gabriel did say that a domain "like" AI.com would sell for more than $10 million on the market today, but he didn't say how much it would sell for. Gabriel also confirmed that before AI.com was bought, it was listed on the market with an asking price of $11 million.
Gabriel says that since he started brokering the domain, AI.com has been getting offers all the time.
"Every week, someone would offer $100,000, $200,000, or even $1,000,000," he says.
Gabriel says that Amazon was interested, but he thinks that they were more interested in using the domain for their upcoming Amazon Internet product than for one based on artificial intelligence. But in the end, the e-commerce giant decided not to buy the domain. Gabriel says it's interesting that AI companies like Nvidia and Intel didn't care when they were asked about the domain.
Gabriel said, "It's interesting when you sell names like these to the leaders in the industry." "Often, they don't want them or don't want to pay higher prices for them. And it's usually the smaller, less-established companies that don't have a household name or brand yet that need to make a splash or do something to make them more memorable in order to be seen as leaders in their field."
He went on to say, "Now, I don't know if [the buyer] really needed it." "But it will make that product even more of a leader. It must have done it in a few weeks or months. Some companies would take 10 or 20 years to get to this level of buzz and use."
Two-letter.com domain names are considered to be the holy grail of domains because they are short and hard to find. There are only 676 possible combinations, and all of them have been registered for a long time. This means that the only way to get one is to pay more on the aftermarkets. NameBio(Opens in a new tab) and DNJournal(Opens in a new tab), two websites that keep track of sales in the public domain, say that even the most random two-letter.com combination has sold for at least $100,000 in the last ten years. The most expensive two-letter domain sold last year was IT.com, which was bought for $3.8 million.
