When a research group called OpenAI launched its flagship artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, ChatGPT, the world of technology changed forever.

Built on a deep language learning model (LLM) that allows it to learn as more information is given, ChatGPT feels as if there were someone on the other side replying to your specific prompt or request.

When asked, “What is ChatGPT?” the platform responds:

ChatGPT is specifically designed for interactive conversations and dialogue generation. It has been trained on a massive amount of text data from the internet, allowing it to understand and generate human-like responses to prompts and questions.

It serves as a search bar, virtual assistant, writer, editor and so much more. Need a great apple dessert recipe? It uses huge amounts of data to deliver step-by-step instructions in record time.
