A short, curated guide — not an automatic related dump. Figures come from SubMouse's safe-for-work directory when we have them.
r/ChatGPT (about 11.7M members, directory rank #73) discusses ChatGPT and AI and notes it is not affiliated with OpenAI. Company/research discussion and academic-style machine learning each have clearer homes.
Weak directory related names unrelated to AI are omitted.
Stay on ChatGPT for ChatGPT product usage and discussion. Use OpenAI for company and research-mission talk, and MachineLearning for ML research and practice (beginners are pointed elsewhere in its description).
