Why OpenAI’s ChatGPT Is Such A Big Deal (CNBC)
Summary:
ChatGPT is an AI-powered text-based chatbot created by OpenAI, a San Francisco-based startup. The tool was opened for public testing in November 2022 and within a week, it amassed over a million users, with an average of 13 million visitors per day by the end of January 2023. The chatbot has become popular for its ability to answer a wide range of questions and generate creative writing, with some users finding it more advanced than most human-generated text. The tool’s knowledge is based on a massive data set of text information, but its accuracy may be limited or outdated due to its training data. OpenAI has big backers, including Microsoft, LinkedIn co-founder, and Khosla Ventures, and has the goal of ensuring AI benefits all of humanity. The core of ChatGPT is a language model called GPT-3.5.
