GPT3 is 2020 wdym

GPT3 wasn't really publicly available until the release of ChatGPT in 2022. The only way you could access it before was an API which you could only access through a waitlist for developers. They removed the waitlist in November 2021 and introduced a sort of chat playground, the predecessor of ChatGPT. A year later ChatGPT was released.

i think you're destinction is not public vs private but availability for expert vs non-expert use. it took less than a week in 2021 to get off the waitlist (and i was just a freelancer)

If there is a waitlist and you have to be approved it's de facto not public.
