ChatGPT AI Chatbot Goes Viral with Human-Like Responses But Faces Accuracy and Ethics Concerns

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot from OpenAI that can respond to text prompts with remarkably human-like responses on nearly any topic. It went viral after its launch in late 2022.

It works using a large language model (LLM) called GPT that is trained on vast amounts of text data to generate responsive text. However, it sometimes makes up plausible-sounding but incorrect information.

You can access ChatGPT for free via its website, mobile apps, or through partners like Microsoft's Bing. There is also a paid subscription for additional capabilities.

ChatGPT has many potential applications but faces challenges with factual accuracy and potential misuse. Researchers and developers continue working to improve its capabilities and safety.

Generative AI like ChatGPT raises concerns about impacts on jobs, education, programming, and more, but also offers productivity gains. The technology remains rapidly evolving.
