Many have heard about OpenAI's ChatGPT, and there are still some basic questions. If you're new to ChatGPT and looking for a place to start, you're in luck because we will cover the basics. So what is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is a chatbot that can interact with humans like a real person. It can explain things, remember what was said earlier in the conversation, elaborate on ideas, and can apologize if it makes a mistake.Seriously incredible stuff.
It's part of this much bigger trend called generative AI, where computers can recreate all sorts of things like text, videos, voice, and other media. ChatGPT offers a free version, which provides access to their capabilities at no cost to you. Available Worldwide ChatGPT+ is their subscription plan, which is available today for $20 a month and is powered by chatGPT 4.
To get started with chatGPT, head over to chat.openai.com and click to sign up your account. Using chatGPT is super easy. Just type in the prompt in the big text box and hit enter. For example, you could try clicking on the prompt. Got any creative ideas for a 10 year old's birthday? And ChatGPT will come back with a list of great suggestions.
You can keep the conversation going by entering additional prompts and hitting enter again. The secret to effectively using this tool is all about the quality of your prompts. The more specific and targeted they are, the better the AI model will work. So how exactly does ChatGPT work? Well, it's just like any other AI out there.
It was trained to use a huge database of information. Keep in mind, ChatGPT is not a search engine. It responds to our prompts with training data used to make it work. ChatGPT is an AI language model that was trained on a large body of text from a variety of sources, including Wikipedia, books, news articles, and scientific journals.
Sometimes ChatGPT may give you wrong information. This is called a hallucination. When faced with a prompt that is not well represented in its training data, ChatGPT may struggle to generate a coherent and accurate response. leading to hallucinations. Here is an example of what a hallucination in ChatGPT may look like.
A user inputted, when did Leonardo da Vinci paint the Mona Lisa? The AI generated response, Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa in 1815. Incorrect. The Mona Lisa was painted between 1503 and 1506, and perhaps continuing into 1517. Over time, ChatGPT is proving to be less accurate and biased in some cases, so be aware of the content you find on ChatGPT.
Cross reference it, double check it before you move ahead. Overall, I found ChatGPT to be pretty accurate and really entertaining to use. You can use it to write just about anything, and you can also make money using it. You could become a freelance writer, a consultant, or anything required a lot of writing.
There are many opportunities. Check it out. Be safe while using it. And remember, it is all about the quality of your prompts and always double check the information.
