If you type "AI.com" into your browser now, you'll be redirected to the ChatGPT website. OpenAI reportedly spent millions on it.
The AI chatbot is now considerably more accessible thanks to a major update to ChatGPT.
AI.com(Opens in a new tab) now links directly to OpenAI's chat platform, ChatGPT. Even though the domain was purchased in 2021, a website did not become operational until this week.
Domain broker Jeffrey Gabriel of Saw.com (Opens in a new tab) told Mashable that he was responsible for organizing the sale. In 2010, Gabriel brokered the then-record sale of the Sex.com domain for $13 million, making him the highest-paid broker in history.
Gabriel stated that he could not confirm who the buyer of AI.com(Opens in a new tab) was due to the terms of the sale; yet, the dialogue left little room for interpretation. Plausibility is stretched by alternate explanations like someone doing OpenAI a huge, multimillion dollar favor.
Mashable has emailed OpenAI for confirmation that it was the purchase of the domain, but the company has not yet responded.
Gabriel did mention that a domain "like" AI.com(Opens in a new tab) would sell for over $10 million in today's market, but he did not reveal the exact selling price. Gabriel further stated that the purchase price of AI.com was $11 million. (Opens in a new tab)
Gabriel claims that ever since he began brokering the rights to AI.com(Opens in a new tab), the domain has been inundated with offers.
Every week, he adds, someone would offer $100,000, $200,000, or $1,000,000 for his services.
Gabriel claims Amazon was a potential buyer; however, he thinks the company is more interested in using the domain for its planned Amazon Internet product than for an AI-based solution. The online retailer considered purchasing the domain name, but decided against it. Gabriel notes that it is interesting that AI-focused businesses like Nvidia and Intel weren't interested in the area despite being approached about it.
To the market leaders, it's exciting to sell names like these, Gabriel remarked. "It's common for them to either not desire them at all or to be unwilling to pay the higher prices. And typically it is the smaller, less established company that needs to make a splash or do something to make them more remembered to build that sense of industry leadership since they don't yet have the household name or brand."
He then said, "Well, I don't know if [the customer] actually needed it." "It will, however, ensure that product's continued dominance in the market. It's accomplished this in a few weeks at most, maybe a few months. Such widespread interest and application is likely to take some businesses the better part of a decade to achieve."
Two-letter.com domain names are highly sought after because of their short length and scarcity. All 676 potential permutations have long since been registered, making secondary markets the only place to obtain them. Even the most random two-letter.com combination has not sold for less than $100,000 for at least the past decade, as reported by websites that track public domain transactions such as NameBio(Opens in a new tab) and DNJournal(Opens in a new tab). IT.com(Opens in a new tab), the most expensive two-letter domain sale of 2016, sold for $3.8 million.
