ChatGPT is, in essence, a simple online artificial intelligence chatbot created by OpenAI in December 2022<\/u><\/a>. You can ask it a question, and it will answer that question. <\/p>\n

For instance, if you ask ChatGPT what it is, this is what it will tell you:<\/p>\n

\n

“ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by OpenAI, which is capable of generating human-like text based on the input it is given. The model is trained on a large corpus of text data and can generate responses to questions, summarize long texts, write stories and much more. It is often used in conversational AI applications to simulate a human-like conversation with users.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can use ChatGPT to message people on dating apps<\/u><\/a>; to write essays<\/u><\/a>; to create malware<\/u><\/a> (yikes); and more<\/u><\/a>. ChatGPT is ethically complicated<\/a>, could spread misinformation<\/a> despite its attempts to stay safe<\/a>, and is giving people advice for their mental health<\/a> (not its job). Nick Cave doesn’t like it<\/a>, and Twitter can’t stop talking about it<\/a>. So what is<\/em> ChatGPT? Here’s everything you need to know about the hottest AI on the scene.<\/p>\n

Is ChatGPT the first chatbot ever?<\/h2>\n

Chatbots have been around for decades, and you might know them best from interacting with any customer service agent over text; often, that’s a chatbot. The term chatbot is actually a brutal reimagining of the much more fun “ChatterBot,” coined by Michael Mauldin in 1994<\/a>. But chatbots have come a long way from Maultin’s creation of Verbot to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do all chatbots use artificial intelligence?<\/h2>\n

All chatbots do not use AI like ChatGPT does. Some chatbots simply use keywords to create a response that may or may not be helpful. For instance, if you tell a non-AI chatbot that you didn’t receive a package that was marked as delivered, it might encourage you to check the front door (annoying). Other chatbots, like the ChatGPT, use some pretty sophisticated AI. I have had a 30-minute conversation with it about my cat.<\/p>\n

Is ChatGPT alive?<\/h2>\n

Joe Rogen (who admitted to never having tried ChatGPT) likened ChatGPT to that of Ex Machina<\/u><\/a>, a 2014 SciFi thriller in which an AI robot named Ava who turns evil. ChatGPT is not Ava.<\/p>\n

But it is <\/em>intelligent. ChatGPT hasn’t been put through a thorough evaluation with the Turing test, a test of a machine’s ability to behave like a human. But some researchers believe<\/u><\/a> it has passed the test, nonetheless. If you asked ChatGPT if it is alive, it says: “No, I am not alive. I am an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI, I do not have consciousness or feelings. I am just a computer program designed to respond to text inputs and generate outputs based on patterns in the data I was trained on.”<\/p>\n

How do I use ChatGPT?<\/h2>\n

Ah, yes, the most simple answer of all. All you have to do is open chat.openai.com<\/a> in your browser. You’ll be asked to make an account and then, boom, you’re plugged in. The tool is completely free to use, but there are rumors that we might get a more powerful paid version in the future<\/u><\/a>. If you want to get better at using the tool, there are classes for that<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
