What is ChatGPT And How Can You Use It? ChatGPT Features and Limitations

If you are tech-savvy, you must have heard a word called chatGPT. That is the beauty of technology. Something new and unique keeps coming to make our lives easier, more comfortable, and more convenient. Today, we will discuss in-depth chatGPT, its uses, how it works, and other crucial details. 

Stay tuned! 

What is ChatGPT?

OpenAI, a San Francisco-based IT and AI research firm, launched a generative language model called ChatGPT in November 2022. 

ChatGPT is an AI-powered advanced chat model that is designed to facilitate users with conversational and natural engagements. It is a chatbot that is capable of understanding the way humans talk and replying accordingly. 

It produces replies that have a human touch and feel to engage customers and solve their queries and answer their questions. The main aim of developing ChatGPT is to simulate automated customer chat. 

Being a natural language processing tool, ChatGPT uses the power of artificial intelligence to help customers in completing a wide range of tasks such as email composition, writing essays, finding products in a store, and giving product recommendations as per their wishes. 

It is developed using Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF). It is a powerful tool that can revolutionize the way we serve customers in the digital era. 

Within a week of its launch, the tool has more than 1 million active users. Sam Altman said in a tweet that they are planning to monetize the tool in the future. As of now, the cost of each response is in cents. 

About the buzz around ChatGPT, Altman wrote in a tweet: 

“Interesting to me how many of the ChatGPT takes are either “this is [artificial general intelligence] AGI” (obviously not close, lol) or “this approach can’t really go that much further”. trust the exponential. flat looking backwards, vertical looking forwards,” 

How to Access ChatGPT?

All you need to do is to visit chat.openai.com. Once you get there, you need to open your OpenAI account. Sign up and start using ChatGPT. You need to start the conversation by asking a question. The model is still in the beta stage and is free to use by anyone. You can ask as many questions as you want. 

There are millions of users flocking to the website to use ChatGPT and it might overload the servers sometimes. So, if your request is not processed by ChatGPT, don’t lose heart. 

You can try it after some time and it will work. Also, you can keep the tab open and refresh it from time to time to check whether your request is processed or not. 

How are users using ChatGPT? 

ChatGPT is not limited to just replying to queries and questions of users. It is built to perform a wide range of functions. ChatGPT can be used to perform applications such as: 

ChatGPT can generate a wide range of well-written texts in the form of articles, blogs, and essays. It can write texts in a wide range of writing styles, languages, and subjects. 

ChatGPT also can write product descriptions, SEO articles, news summaries, stories, poems, and other forms of writing. 

It also can analyze issues, solve problems, and generate unique and valuable answers to questions. 

ChatGPT also can be used to generate article topics, subtopics, social media posts, campaign posts, event texts, and other forms of text. 

It also can generate reports, compose emails, and write other business or marketing collateral. 

ChatGPT can analyze large data sets and extract valuable data insights from them for better decision-making and address various operational and functional issues. 

How does ChatGPT work?

GPT is ChatGPT literally means Generative Pre-Training Transformer. The tool is based on the transformer architecture and has the ability to perform and process large data sets of texts and other natural language processing tasks highly effectively and efficiently. 

The recent GPT-3 model is of the massive size of 175 billion parameters. It is the largest language model. To develop the GPT-3 model, it was tested and trained on a text set of 8 million documents and more than 10 billion words. 

Now you can imagine how powerful the tool is. With such massive text training, the model can perform a wide range of tasks with ease. 

The reward model for reinforcement learning was developed by collecting comparison data by taking some conversations that were available from the trainers and ChatGPT. 

They, then, compared and tested the conversations based on quality and then ranked coaches accordingly. 

Also, the reward model in ChatGPT can be fine-tuned using Proximal Policy Optimization. Moreover, a Microsoft Azure platform was used for training purposes for quality. 

So, this is how ChatGPT performs. First, a model receives input in the form of text. After analyzing this input, ChatGPT generates an appropriate and accurate response. This response can be used by organizations to perform any tasks or to generate a text.

What are the limitations of ChatGPT?

As of now, we have discussed all the good things about ChatGPT. However, there are some limitations of this powerful tool that we cannot miss. 

First of all, ChatGPT can answer based on the data it has been trained in. It cannot offer any assistance outside of the syllabus. 

Furthermore, ChatGPT is not a search engine like Google or Yahoo. It does not use the internet for answers. It uses training sessions and data received from the sessions to answer the questions. Now, it is a worrisome issue. You have to fact-check the answers before using them. Accuracy and timeliness are the issues to address. 

In addition to that, you might not get in-depth information on any given topic. Also, the human-like nuances and context will be absent in the answers. 

Also, there is a probability of potential bias in answers. For example, if a particular issue was taught to the model with a clear bias, you will get biased answers. You have to be vigilant while using answers generated from ChatGPT. Make sure that you are not using biased or offensive content. 

What is the difference between ChatGPT and a search engine? 

ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool that converses with the user to solve their issues or answer their questions. 

On the other hand, search engines index web pages based on their relevance to offer the best relevant information to the users based on their search queries. 

ChatGPT does not use the internet to find answers. It uses the information it learned during the training sessions to answer queries or questions.

Conclusion

ChatGPT is a powerful natural language processing tool with endless possibilities and opportunities. Businesses can use this robust and advanced chatbot to serve their customers in a unique and effective manner. 

Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT was launched on 30th November 2022 and has more than 5 million users using it for content generation. It has some limitations, but we need to remember that the model is in the testing phase as of now and all the pertaining issues will be addressed by the makers. As of now, it is one of the most powerful human-like conversation tools with huge potential.
