What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a chatbot launched by OpenAI, an AI research and deployment company in November 2022. It processes natural language with the help of AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations and much more. The language model can answer questions, assist you with tasks such as composing emails, writing essays, and code.

ChatGPT, the large language model chatbot, is developed on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 family, and is fine-tuned with supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.

Who built ChatGPT?

OpenAI Inc. is the non-profit AI research company of the for-profit OpenAI LP.

Sam Altman is the CEO of OpenAI and was previously president of Y Combinator.

Microsoft has invested $1 billion on OpenAI LP in 2019 and a second multi-year investment of $10 billion in January 2023.

What methods does ChatGPT follow?

ChatGPT language model is trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) so that the AI learns what answer a human expects after asking a question.

What are the Limitations of ChatGPT?

  • Limitations on harmful Response
  • Quality of Answers Depends on Quality of Queries
  • Answers Are Not Always Correct

ChatGPT is specially trained to avoid providing harmful responses. So it will decline those types of questions.

ChatGPT is sensitive to phrases so if one phrasing does not provide you the answer, a slight rephrase to your query can help you to get the answer. It means more accurate questions will get more accurate answers.

As the model is in its feedback collection stage so sometimes you might have some false negatives and positives information.
