What is Chat GPT?
Chat GPT is the new tech sensation that’s taking the world by storm. Launched by American artificial intelligence research laboratory, OpenAI in November (yep, just 2 months ago), it had over a million users by early December 2022!
Chat GPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a chatbot – it uses artificial intelligence to generate responses to prompts (questions) posed to it. “It works like a written dialogue between the AI system and the person asking it questions”, explained AP News. And the responses are not just basic ones, but entire dialogues, not to mention essays, articles and technical instructions.
What can Chat GPT do?
This clever chatbot can answer questions, just like google does. But it can also write poems, plays, social media content and essays on practically any subject. If you don’t know how to fix something, Chat GPT can give you detailed instructions. If you want to know about a particular scientific topic, Chat GPT can explain in for you. Want help wording a letter? You guessed it – Chat GPT can do that too.
And it can do it all in seconds.
Is there anything Chat GPT can’t do?
There is always the chance that Chat GPT will get the wrong answer, particularly if your question was complicated or ambiguous. It can’t manage opinion-related questions very well.
There can be problems accessing Chat GPT if too many people are trying to access it at once, so users may experience down-time.
What’s next for Chat GPT?
Well, Chat GPT is currently free, but that’s set to change soon. No-one knows for sure, but there are noises of a $42 a month charge for Pro membership, which comes with promises of no down-time and no limit on the number of requests you can make. So, before the charge comes in, if you’re interested, now is the time to have a free look at this amazing new chatbot.
