What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate conversations which are based on the GPT-3.5 model that OpenAI developed. 

With the additional layer of Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF), it can follow and provide satisfactory answers to humans using their feedback.

The model is trained on millions of conversations and can generate responses that are both accurate and natural-sounding.

ChatGPT is designed to be used in a variety of applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and other conversational applications. It can create interactive conversations with users, as well as provide automated customer service. 

You can also use it to generate personalized content for websites and applications.

ChatGPT is LLM (Large Language Model).

Yes, that’s true. ChatGPT is one of the LLMs (Large Language Models). It is a huge revolution in the technology industry when an LLM is trained to consider human feedback before answering. 

It means the AI learned how to understand human expectations when they ask some question or query.

LLMs can only predict the next word, but it’s not necessary that the word will be relevant to the sentence and will make sense. However, the ChatGPT is LLM, which doesn’t only provide a prediction of the next word but is accurate and sensible as well.

How ChatGPT Works?

ChatGPT works by taking a user’s input and using it to generate a response. The system uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand the user’s input and generate an appropriate response. The system then uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate a response that is both accurate and natural-sounding.

How ChatGPT Works?

The system is trained on millions of conversations, so it can generate responses that are both accurate and natural-sounding. It can also generate personalized content for websites and applications. The system can also be used to create interactive conversations with users, as well as to provide automated customer service.

The above screenshot is the page you will be greeted with after signing up for ChatGPT. Well, on the start page, it will show you its capabilities and limitations.

The capabilities state it can remember your conversation, allows you to provide follow-up for corrections, and can even decline inappropriate requests. And as for limitations, it might occasionally generate incorrect information, harmful or biased content, and limited knowledge.

Now, let’s comprehensively understand its advantages and limitations:

Advantages of ChatGPT:

By now, you might have understood that ChatGPT is an absolute wonder in many ways. It shows how AI can also understand human behavior and expectation. This complex model based on GPT-3.5 has multiple advantages, and they are as follows:

(1) It produces high-quality writing which enables it to produce more intelligent and compelling content.

(2) You can use it to perform more advanced reasoning tasks since it supports more complex instructions.

(3) It doesn’t provide answers in shorter form or a single word. Instead in the longer form explain the answer in detail. Refer to the image added below for reference:

advantages of ChatGPT

As you can see above, how ChatGPT explained the difference between the words nuance and nuisance in detail and even showed tips on how to remember them correctly.

(4) It’s easy to use and FREE!

Limitations of ChatGPT:

Even though ChatGPT has many advantages, there are a few limitations of ChatGPT as well. It is still in the early stage of development and reviewing, hence, there will be times when it gives out nuisance answers that won’t make any sense. Here are a few limitations that OpenAI states about the ChatGPT:

(1) During RL training, there’s currently no source of truth; 

(2) Training the model to be more cautious causes it to decline questions that it can answer correctly; and 

(3) Supervised training misleads the model because the ideal answer depends on what the model knows, rather than what the human demonstrator knows.

Apart from these, there are other disadvantages of ChatGPT, which are mentioned below:

(4) It can hinder the evolution of students. How? Students in NYC and other states are using ChatGPT to write their essays, which are supposed to be written by them! 

(5) If ChatGPT can solve every possible query, then what about the call centers? Their job and existence are also in danger.

(6) It can even create new cybersecurity risks, as it can answer all the questions asked by the user, regardless of understanding the motive and intent!

(7) Another disadvantage is to the knowledge worker. If ChatGPT and like models can provide every information, then aren’t knowledge workers’ jobs in danger too?

How to Use ChatGPT?

The answer to this depends on where you want to use it. If you want to use it as your personal assistant providing you answers without you having to go through websites, then it’s pretty simple.

  • Go to the OpenAI website.
  • Scroll to the Features section on the footer.
  • Click on ChatGPT.
  • Then, click on Try ChatGPT.
  • Sign up and ask your questions and queries through chat and get answers.

However, if you want to connect the ChatGPT to your website or mobile application, then the process is a bit different:

  • Create an account on the OpenAI website.
  • After that, browse the API keys page to create a new API key.
  • To access the ChatGPT model whenever needed, copy and store the API key safely.
  • To access the ChatGPT model from Python code, you must install the OpenAI Python package. You can install the package using the command line: pip install openai
  • As soon as you install the OpenAI package, access the ChatGPT model and produce an answer to any natural query.
