Yes, it's from Facebook which rubbed me the wrong way initially, but it's from their Open-Source Advocacy team:

It's not widely talked about, but on the backend, ChatGPT is trained by humans who rate the responses given by the bot.

Pick a project you enjoy and contribute to it. Honestly, do you really want to do it or do you want to sound good?
