Chat GPT 

  • stands for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer developed by an AI research company, Open AI.
  • is an artificial intelligence program that generates dialogue. 
  • is faciliated by large amounts of data and computing techniques to make predictions to string words together in a meaningful way.
  • can also be used for writing music, coding assistance, manipulating media files, movie recommendations, playing games, cooking assistance, improving health, creating content in multiple languages, job interview preparation, writing essays, and as a chat companion.
  • sometimes has difficulty acknowledging that it doesn’t know something and instead fabricates a plausible-sounding answer.
  • is trained on a large set of text data — and that data may contain biases or prejudices. 
  • does not always recognize idioms, regionalisms, or slang. Instead, it may take a phrase like “raining cats and dogs” literally.
  • may sometimes provide nonsensical or inaccurate responses to certain questions or situations.
  • is currently best suited for generating shorter pieces of content like summaries, bullet points, or brief explanations.
