ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and released on November 30, 2022. It uses large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4o to generate human-like responses in text, speech, and images. It is credited with accelerating the AI boom, an ongoing period of rapid investment in and public attention to the field of artificial intelligence (AI). ChatGPT is built on OpenAI's proprietary series of generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) models and is fine-tuned for conversational applications using a combination of supervised learning and reinforcement learning from human feedback. OpenAI now operates the service on a freemium model. By January 2023, ChatGPT had become the fastest-growing consumer software application in history, gaining over 100 million users in two months. As of May 2025, ChatGPT's website is among the 5 most-visited websites globally. The chatbot is recognized for its versatility and articulate responses. Its capabilities include answering follow-up questions, writing and debugging computer programs, translating, and summarizing text. Users can interact with ChatGPT through text, audio, and image prompts. Since its initial launch, OpenAI has integrated additional features, including plugins, web browsing capabilities, and image generation. It has been lauded as a revolutionary tool that could transform numerous professional fields, while its release prompted extensive media coverage and public debate about the nature of creativity and the future of knowledge work. Despite its acclaim, the chatbot has been criticized for its limitations and potential for unethical use. It generates plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers. Its training data suffers from algorithmic bias, which can be reflected in its responses. The chatbot can facilitate academic dishonesty, generate misinformation, and create malicious code. The ethics of its development, particularly the use of outsourced Kenyan workers to label harmful content, have also drawn scrutiny. These issues have led to its use being restricted in some workplaces and educational institutions and have prompted widespread calls for the regulation of artificial intelligence.

• What Is ChatGPT? Everything You Need to Know - TechTarget

  ChatGPT is a form of generative AI -- a tool that lets users enter prompts to receive humanlike images, text or videos that are created by AI. [...] ChatGPT is similar to the automated chat services found on customer service websites, as people can ask it questions or request clarification to ChatGPT's replies. The GPT stands for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer," which refers to how ChatGPT processes requests and formulates responses. ChatGPT is trained with reinforcement learning through human feedback and reward models that rank the best responses. This feedback helps augment ChatGPT with machine learning to improve future responses. [...] ChatGPT uses deep learning, a subset of machine learning, to produce humanlike text through transformer neural networks. The transformer predicts text -- including the next word, sentence or paragraph -- based on its training data's typical sequence. Training begins with generic data, then moves to more tailored data for a specific task. ChatGPT was trained with online text to learn the human language, and then it used transcripts to learn the basics of conversations.

• ChatGPT can now 'think' and 'act' for you after a new update - CNN

  Mateusz Slodkowski/SOPA Images/LightRocket/Getty Images CNN— OpenAI on Thursday announced a new feature for ChatGPT that allows the popular chatbot to execute actions on a user’s behalf. It’s part of an industry-wide push to change the way people get things done on the Internet: Tech giants hope that instead of bouncing between apps and manually searching the web, users might be able to one day rely on agents to do it all. [...] OpenAI said on Thursday that ChatGPT’s new agent mode “thinks” and “acts” using its own virtual computer, enabling it to handle complex action-oriented requests. For example, users will be able to issue command such as “look at my calendar and brief me on upcoming client meetings based on recent news” or “plan and buy ingredients to make Japanese breakfast for four,” the company said in a blog post.
