ChatGPT: Everything you need to know about OpenAI’s GPT-3 tool

It is indeed said that necessity is the mother of all inventions. Everything artificial that we see today is an outcome of a need that a person felt during a crucial stage in his life. These inventions have only made our lives easier. We can say that for most inventions, if not all.

Ever since technology has taken over the world, life as we knew it has changed. Earlier, we had to visit the market or a shop to purchase things, but now everything is just a click away. We get everything delivered in the comfort of our homes.

Amongst the latest artificial inventions, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has proven to be one of the biggest pathbreakers in this technological revolution. As the name suggests, artificial intelligence uses several algorithms to help people perform specific tasks more quickly than manually.

AI has brought about several tools to aid human beings in their times of need, but the latest one has been ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI, a San Francisco-based AI company, which is topping the list and has been the talk of the town.

What is ChatGPT, the most talked about AI tool in recent times?

ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI, is the latest addition to OpenAI’s GPT-3 tool that has been trained to interact with its users conversationally. In simple terms, you can raise your queries with this AI tool, which will respond to you like people in general do, making you feel like you are talking to an actual human being. It's customer service, but it'll be more engaging instead of getting an automated response.

Why has it been the talk of the town since its launch?

While AI isn’t a relatively new concept anymore, having a tool that answers your questions will act like a saviour in times of extreme need. That is what ChatGPT has promised its users. Need an academic essay overnight? You can type in the input for the output you want, and you will get precisely that.

But how will it do that?

ChatGPT is a pre-trained generative chat based on a large language model that will consume information from several sources such as textbooks, websites, articles, and whatever other possible sources to come up with plausible answers to your queries and even complete sentences for you if you have a story or an essay to write.

The most talked about features of this tool are:

Code writing.

Article writing.

Translation.

Prose, poetry writing.

ChatGPT uses natural language processing to help its users produce reliable and high-quality output as and when needed. It has also been trained in a way that it'll filter out questions that are harmful or toxic, ensuring that it will be used for right purpose only. So, it is safe to say that it indeed is your tech best friend in need i.e., just a text away when you are facing any trouble.?

How can you use ChatGPT?

So far, the parent company still needs to develop an application for this feature. However, according to a recent announcement on the company’s Twitter handle, we can soon expect an API of ChatGPT. Until then, you can easily access this tool on the company's website for free. You just need to do the following:

1. Go to openai.com.
2. You will see a ‘Try ChatGPT’ button on the left corner.
3. After clicking on that, you will be redirected to another window. Once the website ensures that the connection is secure, you will have to sign up.
4. After signing up, you will need to verify with an OTP using your mobile number and you will be done.
5. A chat box will appear where you can enter your queries and you will get several responses.?

Conclusion

ChatGPT has interested several industries at once due to its innovative way of dealing with queries, giving quite a tough competition to chatbots of other companies. Its still in its initial phase but seems promising given the way people are looking forward to more of it in the future. There have been discussions that it might replace creative writers in the upcoming time. Only time will tell how true that is.
