ChatGPT A pretty useful AI. a.k.a.: Chat OpenAI Type of site: AI chatbot Language: Multilingual Created by: OpenAI Owner: OpenAI Date of launch: November 30, 2022 Status: Active

ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in 2022. It is based on the GPT-4o large language model (LLM). ChatGPT can generate human-like conversational responses, and enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. It is credited with accelerating the AI boom, which has led to ongoing rapid investment in and public attention to the field of artificial intelligence. Some observers have raised concern about the potential of ChatGPT and similar programs to displace human intelligence, enable plagiarism, or fuel misinformation.

Why It Rocks

1. ChatGPT can provide instant answers on a wide range of topics, from technical subjects to general curiosities. This saves time and makes knowledge more accessible.
2. It can help organize nize tasks, provide planning suggestions, write texts, generate creative ideas, and even support studies or projects.
3. ChatGPT is also capable of learning from interactions and personalizing its responses to align with your preferences or needs, such as the dentistry course you're planning.
4. It's free and it can be accessed at any time, now, you don't even need too log in to have an experience with it!
5. It can help review texts, create drafts and provide feedback, reducing the possibility of errors in important documents.

Bad Qualities

1. For highly specialized tasks or very technical areas, ChatGPT may not provide the same depth of knowledge as an expert or professional in the field.
2. Although the model is trained to provide accurate answers, it can occasionally generate incorrect or misleading information, especially in complex topics or ambiguous situations.
3. ChatGPT does not have physical or sensory interaction capabilities, which can be a limitation for tasks that require a human touch or a deeper, more contextual interaction.

Reception

OpenAI engineers have said that they had not expected ChatGPT to be very successful and were surprised by the coverage and attention that it received.

ChatGPT was widely assessed in December 2022 as having some unprecedented and powerful capabilities. Kevin Roose of The New York Times called it "the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public".Samantha Lock of The Guardian noted that it was able to generate "impressively detailed" and "human-like" text. Alex Kantrowitz of Slate magazine lauded ChatGPT's pushback to questions related to Nazi Germany, including the statement that Adolf Hitler built highways in Germany, which was met with information about Nazi Germany's use of forced labor. In The Atlantic magazine's "Breakthroughs of the Year" for 2022, Derek Thompson included ChatGPT as part of "the generative-AI eruption" that "may change our mind about how we work, how we think, and what human creativity is". Kelsey Piper of Vox wrote that "ChatGPT is the general public's first hands-on introduction to how powerful modern AI has gotten, and as a result, many of us are [stunned]" and that ChatGPT is "smart enough to be useful despite its flaws".Paul Graham of Y Combinator tweeted: "The striking thing about the reaction to ChatGPT is not just the number of people who are blown away by it, but who they are. These are not people who get excited by every shiny new thing. Something big is happening."

ChatGPT gained one million users in five days and 100 millions in two months, becoming the fastest-growing internet application in history. ChatGPT's launch and popularity caught Google off-guard, prompting a sweeping and unprecedented response in the ensuing months. In December 2022, Google executives sounded a "code red" alarm, fearing the threat of ChatGPT and Microsoft's collaboration with OpenAI to Google Search, Google's core business. After mobilizing its workforce, Google scrambled to launch Bard, a chatbot powered by the LaMDA LLM, on February 6, 2023, one day before Microsoft's announcement of Bing Chat. AI was the forefront of Google's annual Google I/O conference in May, announcing a slew of generative AI-powered features across its products to counter OpenAI and Microsoft.
