What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI-powered language model developed by OpenAI, capable of generating human-like text based on context and past conversations.
The “GPT” in ChatGPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. This refers to how ChatGPT processes requests or inputs and formulates its responses.
Generative: ChatGPT can generate or create things like codes, emails, stories, etc.
Pre-trained: Millions and millions of data have been fed to the program through websites, books, etc for ChatGPT to understand human language.
Transformer: It can understand the meaning of your text and chat like a human.
In simple terms, ChatGPT is a chatbot trained to give responses like a human. Through text inputs, you can converse with ChatGPT on any topic you like, and it will respond to you in a way that is similar to humans.
