ChatGPT has been taking the world by storm since its launch in late 2022. The revolutionary chatbot AI can perform a surprising amount of tasks, from holding a conversation to writing an entire term paper. Plus, there are a lot of things you didn’t know that ChatGPT can do — from making a brand logo to composing music and more.
What is ChatGPT?
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence trained to assist with a variety of tasks. More specifically, it is a language model AI designed to produce human-like text and converse with people. This means that to use ChatGPT, you present the model with a query or request by entering it into a text box. The AI then processes this request and responds based on the information that it has available.
Accessing ChatGPT
ChatGPT is still available to users as a free service in the research stage. However, OpenAI has also launched ChatGPT Plus, a paid subscription service for ChatGPT. It costs $20 a month and promises access to ChatGPT even when demand is high, faster response speeds and priority access to new features when they become available. It also includes access to the new GPT-4 large language model.
ChatGPT Bans and Safety
ChatGPT was banned in Italy for a while. The Italian government issued a government order that banned ChatGPT on the grounds that OpenAI unlawfully collected personal data. There were also concerns over OpenAI not requiring an age verification system. But that ban has since been lifted.
Detecting ChatGPT Usage
As ChatGPT becomes more prevalent in writing, people are starting to create AI tools to detect ChatGPT or similar AI models in written content. GPTZero is one such tool, created by Princeton University student Edward Tian.
ChatGPT App and Other Integrations
There is an official ChatGPT app! While for a long time, you had to settle for using a web browser, OpenAI has now launched an app that lets you do everything that ChatGPT can do on a web browser.
ChatGPT’s capabilities and benefits are vast and continue to evolve. The landscape of AI chatbots is changing rapidly, and it’s an exciting time to explore and utilize ChatGPT for various tasks.
