What is ChatGPT?

December 5, 2022

OpenAI has unveiled a chatbot called ChatGPT that is available for public testing for free.

About ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a chatbot powered by artificial intelligence that can be used to ask queries.
This chatbot is designed in such a way that the replies to the queries are both technical and jargon-free.
It is a natural language processing (NLP) model that works using a large corpus of conversational data.
It is capable of generating human-like replies, allowing natural conversation between the user and the virtual assistant.
The chatbot makes use of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) technology. However, it is modified to appear more friendly to humans.
It is based on GPT-3.5 – a deep-learning language model that produces human-like text.
The technology produces different answers for the same question in the future since it improves over time and understands queries better through machine learning.

What are the applications of ChatGPT?

Once the ChatGPT is fully tested, its services can be extended to companies that depend on chatbots. It can be used for customer services (Paytm, Swiggy, Airtel, etc.) and personal assistance (assist users with scheduling, remainders and other such tasks). It can also be used by students to get answers to complex questions in simple words and solve complex math problems. This AI-powered chatbot is also capable of reviewing and writing codes in seconds. This is making the future of coders grim.

Despite showing huge potential in acting as an effective virtual assistant, ChatGPT is unlikely to replace the Google. This is because Google is a search engine and ChatGPT is a chatbot. However, both of these platforms are used for the same purpose – assist users by answering various queries. While ChatGPT is a chatbot that makes use of natural language processing technology to make natural conversation with humans, Google is designed to find information on the internet.

What are the limitations of ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is occasionally found to generate incorrect answers to queries. This can potentially produce harmful instructions or biased content. The chatbot’s knowledge is limited to events before 2021. It is also unable to provide answers to country-specific questions. It is only capable of providing generalized answers, unlike Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa that are more focused on giving specific answers to user queries.
