You might have heard talk of Chat GPT around the Internet. Some say it’s groundbreaking technology, even comparing it to Google. But how does Chat GPT work, what actually is it, and what makes it different from the dozens of other AI that we currently have access to?
What Is Chat GPT?
Chat GPT is a chatbot that was developed by the artificial intelligence research company OpenAI. It has a number of different functions, including answering questions, solving math equations, writing texts, debugging and fixing code, translating between languages, creating text summaries, making recommendations, classifying things, and explaining what something does, such as a code block. In other words, it has a vast array of functions that have the potential to simplify everyday life for a lot of people.
The chatbot is still a prototype currently, and represents the latest in a long line of GPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) technologies. The reason it’s been described as an alternative to Google is because it is capable of providing many of the same functions that Google currently provides for users. It also has the potential to perform tasks such as generating content for websites and answering customer inquiries.

How Does It Work?
So how exactly does Chat GPT work? Like most AIs, ChatGPT is trained through a large database of information from the Internet. It has a conversational interface, which allows it to answer follow up questions, reject certain requests and recognise when it has malfunctioned or made an error. It also makes it straightforward to use.?
This functionality may seem relatively unimpressive when using chatbots for things like customer service has become commonplace, but the difference is that most chatbots have a small selection of automated pre-programmed replies, whereas ChatGPT can respond directly to a query and adapt itself in conversation much like a human could.
