ChatGPT - The Human-like AI Chatbot Everyone’s Talking About

 A new artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot has taken the internet by storm. Humans are asking it questions that are chatty, sometimes humorous, and eerily lifelike. Yes, we are talking about ChatGPT - a chatbot based on the language model GPT 3.5. 

This viral tool has gained huge traction for its human-like, detailed answers and could transform the way people use search engines by providing links for users to go through and solving complex problems in seconds.

In this blog, we will discuss what is ChatGPT and how it works. Also, we will focus on its core features and learn how this GPT-3 chatbot will revolutionize information access. 

So, without waiting any further, let’s begin!

ChatGPT - What exactly are we talking about?

Launched on November 30, 2022, ChatGPT is a conversational machine learning model created by OpenAI, a research company co-founded by Elon Musk (who stepped down from the board in 2018 and now remains an investor).

This OpenAI chatbot is based on GPT 3.5 language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text. 

‘’ChatGPT offers "more creative" responses compared to similar language models developed by big tech companies.’’

- Cai GoGwilt, CTO at IronClad

GPT denotes ‘Generative Pre-training Transformer’. “Pre-trained” implies it is based on a database of text/words, allowing it to understand the patterns and structure of natural language. Hence, the responses are conversational. It takes in the context of the query and adapts itself to that.

The “transformational” structure can efficiently process long data sequences. It has layers that can prioritize words or phrases in each input. Then the model understands the context and meaning of the information better. The result is that you get better and more coherent responses.

This  GPT bot can perform a number of different functions, including answering questions, solving math equations, writing texts, rejecting inappropriate queries, and more. 

‘’ChatGPT was trained on an enormous amount of text data. It learned to recognize patterns that enable it to produce its own text mimicking various writing styles.’’

- Bern Elliot, VP at Gartner

A few examples of how people are using ChatGPT

People are using the live chat feature of ChatGPT OpenAI in a varied number of ways.

YouTuber Live Boeree was able to get the OpenAI chatbot to write a full 4-paragraph essay and also solve a complex math equation. She feels that kids spending hours on homework will be a thing of the past – ChatGPT Open AI will do the job for them.

One user asked the GPT bot to write a song about AI taking jobs, in the style of rapper Eminem. “Yo, it’s Slim Shady, back with a brand-new track. Rapping with anger because AI is taking our jobs back.” was a hilarious attempt of the tool at imitating the multi-Grammy award-winning artist.

Some users have even asked this GPT 3 AI to write computer code in programming languages such as Python.

Software start-up founder Amjad Masad got this AI chatbot online to spot errors in his code and produce a detailed output on what’s wrong with it and how it can be fixed.

How does ChatGPT work?

At its core, ChatGPT utilizes algorithms to analyze a massive corpus of text to respond to user requests in language that can sound surprisingly human.

ChatGPT is refined using a tactic called reinforcement learning from human feedback, according to OpenAI. The company enlisted human AI trainers who come up with conversations, playing both the user and AI assistant. 

Trainers compared responses written by this conversational AI chatbot to humans and ranked their quality, to help reinforce humanlike conversation styles. Several iterations of this process are conducted, and the model is fine-tuned.

How to access ChatGPT?

Visit chat.openai.com and create an OpenAI GPT account. Once you log in, you can start chatting with the GPT bot by asking a question. As this artificial intelligence bot is still in its research stage, it is free to use. Also, you can ask as many questions as you'd like.

Is ChatGPT accurate?

Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT has certain limitations. Some of the limitations include the inability to answer questions that are worded in a specific way. 

A bigger limitation of this chatbot technology is the lack of quality in the responses it delivers – which can sometimes be plausible-sounding but make absolutely no practical sense.

Additionally, instead of asking for clarification on ambiguous questions, the GPT-3 chatbot just takes a guess at what your question means, which can lead to unintended responses to questions. 

Lastly, this artificial intelligence bot doesn’t cover events post-2021 yet. So, you will not find answers to queries related to anything after that time.

Conclusion

We hope this article was helpful in understanding what is ChatGPT and how it is revolutionizing the AI world. ChatGPT, one of the best chatbots with artificial intelligence, is capable of understanding the context of a conversation and generating responses that fit naturally with what has been said previously. This makes it a valuable tool for a wide range of conversational tasks, such as customer service, language translation, text summarization, and sentiment analysis.
