What is ChatGPT: Unveiling OpenAI’s Conversational Model

In 2023, AI took center stage like never before! From transforming industries to sparking debates about the future, the introduction of new tools every other day had everyone busy. But where did it all start from? I think, we all know the answer, and that is ChatGPT!

Introduced by OpenAI, a US-based artificial intelligence research organization that paved the way to the virtual world of AI and machine learning. For those who still wonder about the concept of ChatGPT, you’re in the right place. 

As we are ready to delve into the world of ChatGPT, let’s dive in with us and learn everything you wish to know.  

What is ChatGPT?

Chat Generated Pre-Trained Transformer or ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that uses a natural language model processing to create humanlike informal dialogue. This language model can answer questions and craft several written content, like emails, essays, social media posts, articles, and more. 

It uses the data it was trained on, to generate responses. The platform was made open to the public on November 30, 2022. It works similarly to a chat service found on consumer service websites. 

Earlier, the chatGPT models were launched for the developers only, to build products around it. Later on, they launched a 3.0 version of ChatGPT for the public. Right after the success of the platform, they upgraded it to version 3.5 with more advanced features.

While it offers many functions like answering questions, generating written content, etc., the major drawback of the platform is that the knowledge of ChatGPT is based on the data up to January 2022. This means you can not expect it to generate the latest news or recent queries. 

Is ChatGPT Free to Use?

The answer is, yes. ChatGPT version 3.5 is available for free including many features like unlimited messages and interactions, history, etc. There’s a premium also starting from $20/month. You can expect additional tools like DALL-E, GPT browser, Data Analysis, and more from it. 

How to Use ChatGPT?

To use the platform, you’ll have to visit the chat.openai.com site. Sign up with a Google, Apple, or Microsoft account. And, there you have it, ask questions or queries on the prompt, and enjoy unlimited and faster responses.

Is There a ChatGPT App?

Yes, a few months back, in July 2023, ChatGPT launched its application on the Google Play store for Android users. Just before a month, in May 2023, the official ChatGPT was available for iOS users on the App Store. 

Final Thoughts

ChatGPT is indeed a leading product available in the market today, we expect to see more rising competitors in the AI realm. ChatGPT 3.5 version still lacks in various fields while offering features, many similar tools are already in the position to offer more functionalities.
