ChatGPT is a prototype dialogue-based AI chatbot that can understand human language and give answers in a human-like manner which allows you to have a conversation with it like you are texting another human or a friend. The chatbot can answer your questions, and assist you with things like composing your e-mails, writing your essays, and debugging your code, etc.

A chatbot is an application or a program that uses AI to simulate human conversation through text chats or voice commands or both. Chatbots are sometimes used in messaging apps like Facebook Messenger. Other examples of chatbots include Siri, Alexi, Cortana, Google Home, etc.

“We’ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response.” — From OpenAI

Who Created ChatGPT?

ChatGPT was created by OpenAI, an Elon Musk-funded research lab. OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research laboratory that aims to develop artificial intelligence in ways that will benefit humanity as a whole.

How does ChatGPT Work?

According to OpenAI, they trained the chatbot using Reinforcement Learning From Human Feedback (RLHF), using the same methods as InstructGPT, but with slight differences in the data collection setup. They trained an initial model using supervised fine-tuning: human AI trainers provided conversations in which they played both sides — the user and an AI assistant. They gave the trainers access to model-written suggestions to help them compose their responses.

How To Get ChatGPT?

You can get chatGPT by visiting https://chat.openai.com/ and creating an OpenAI account. The account created will then have to be verified and then you can sign in and go to the chatGPT site, where you can begin your conversation with the chatGPT by asking it questions so that it can provide you with the answers you seek.

How People Use ChatGPT

ChatGPT has many functions that are available to you other than answering your questions like using it as a Linux terminal, debugging your codes, writiting your codes for you, explaining things for you in layman’s terms, or simply, providing ideas for you, composing lyrics, etc.
