What is Chat GPT?

Wednesday March 29, 2023

Chat GPT is an AI Chatbot developed by Open AI. The chatbot has a language-based model that the developer fine-tunes for human interaction in a conversational manner. 

Effectively it’s a simulated chatbot primarily designed for customer service; people use it for various other purposes too though. These range from writing essays to drafting business plans, to generating code. But what is it and what can it really do? 

If you are new to Chat GPT this guide is for you, so continue reading. 

Those looking to keep up-to-date with recent developments from OpenAI may be interested in learning about the next-generation large model, GPT-4.

This model is the next iteration of GPT models developed by OpenAI. And, what will it offer? Well, according to the AI firm, GPT-4 is a multimodal model. 

It will have the ability to understand image and video inputs, generating a response in the form of text. – A debut feature that is not currently available on their current GPT-3.5 model. 

So, what will this mean for Chat GPT? At the moment, Chat GPT is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 model – an updated version of GPT-3. 

But, this is about to change. OpenAI has officially announced that Chat GPT will be getting an upgrade. The AI firm is set to include GPT-4 infrastructure in the AI bot, allowing you to communicate with Chat GPT using images and videos. 

What is Chat GPT?

It is an AI chatbot auto-generative system created by OpenAI for online customer care. It is a pre-trained generative chat, which makes use of (NLP) Natural Language Processing. The source of its data is textbooks, websites, and various articles, which it uses to model its own language for responding to human interaction. 

This chatbot system provides information and responses to inquiries through AI. The popular version of Chat GPT is the GPT-3 model.

What is Chat GPT used for?

The main feature of Chat GPT is generating responses like those humans would provide, in a text box. Therefore, it is suitable for chatbots, AI system conversations, and virtual assistants. 

However, it can also give natural answers to questions in a conversational tone and can generate stories poems and more. Moreover, it can:

  • Write code
  • Write an article or blog post
  • Translate
  • Debug
  • Write a story/poem
  • Recommend chords and lyrics

To make the AI carry out one of these demands, all you need to do is type the command into the chatbot.

In recent news, OpenAI has released a new Chat GPT plugin feature set to enhance the current chatbot’s capabilities. ChatGPT will be bigger and better than ever, with the ability to draw on the knowledge and features of many third-party applications.

The initial set of plugins has already been launched, featuring popular platforms such as Expedia, Klarna, Slack, Wolfram, OpenTable, Shopify, and others.

Essentially, this new update will mean that ChatGPT can bring in tools from these platforms. For example, plot graphs using Wolfram or send you restaurant reservations from OpenTable.

What is Chat GPT Pro?

Chat GPT Pro, is a rumored professional subscription plan for OpenAI’s Chat GPT. The service was hinted to cost around $42 per month. Surprisingly, the professional plan has not yet been introduced since the reports were first spread at the start of the year.

However, OpenAI has recently released a subscription service, but under a different name – Chat GPT Plus. This plan offers users exclusive benefits including priority access and faster response times. Costing only $20 a month, this option is significantly cheaper than Pro.

What is Chat GPT trained on?

It relies on NLP (Natural Language Processing). It’s an excellent tool for researchers and developers working on various NLP projects, and it has many specific tasks, domains, and applications available to work within. 

It is well-trained on biased and unbiased data, in the form of text from books, articles, and websites. Chat GPT can reproduce data outputs and reliability – crucial for many sensitive apps and other valuable Al systems. However, it is still prone to error, and biases and depends on its training data – provided in 2021. 

As humans we are, more and more, interacting with Al-powered machines, and Chat GPT is a revolution in the field of Al. It is a robust model and particularly advanced thanks to its deep-learning capabilities and NLP. Ultimately, it can generate human-like answers and is easily understandable to users. Thought that doesn’t always make it right. 

What is Chat GPT coded in?

Chat GPT is built on the GPT-3 language model developed by OpenAI. Although the source code for GPT-3 hasn’t been released, a post on the StackExchange site suggests that GPT-3 is written in the “same model and architecture as GPT-2”. The post goes on to state that the “GPT-2 source code is 100% Python”.

The application itself is apparently capable of providing code in Pythos C++ and JavaScript, should it be prompted to create any.

What is Chat GPT 4?

There is no Chat GPT 4. The current application made available by OpenAI is built upon something called the ‘GPT 3.5 language model’. In other words, GPT-3.5 acts as the brains behind the infamous chatbot.

In recent news, OpenAI has released a brand-spanking new large multimodal model, GPT-4. This new model will be implemented into Chat GPT in the next coming weeks. Which will allow users to feed the bot images and videos to generate a text response.

So, strictly speaking, there will not be a Chat GPT 4 but there will be an updated version of Chat GPT which uses GPT-4 infrastructure.

Registration for Chat GPT

To register for Chat GPT, you can use one of your existing email IDs and mobile number and then follow these easy steps to get registration done. Take note that price options now include a professional plan, should you need consistent, unfettered access. 

The following are the steps:

  • Go to the login page in a browser.
  • Create an AI account, click on sign up and enter your email id; for example, if you have a Gmail id and then click on Google, it automatically registers to your Google account.
  • Then next, press the continue button, and it asks for your mobile number for verification.
  • Then you receive a code on your mobile number, and it may charge you to get a code.
  • Go to sms activation. Register and log in
  • In the up-right corner, under the balance, select the top-up balance option to recharge.
  • Scrolling down at the end, you have some options. Click to recharge.
  • After recharging, go back to the home page and find Al services in the search box.
  • Press the shopping cart button. Your country code mobile number is mentioned.
  • Copy that mobile number and enter it in the Chat GPT mobile number verification section. Send code via sms.
  • You receive a code. That’s your verification code. Enter this code in the Open AI box to complete the process.
  • Choose the main reason why you register it. Such as, I am using it to explore features.
  • In case of failure, change the mobile number of another country and then try again.  

What is a GPT-3 chatbot?

GPT-3 chatbots are bots are artificial intelligence applications that can be programmed to engage in natural human-like communication. They can provide impressive engagement and usefulness thanks to development using engines, here specifically OpenAI’s GPT-3, which enables training in written and spoken human language.

GPT-3 chatbot applications make use of deep learning and other techniques, targeted toward the understanding of language and linguistic models. This enables communication almost indistinguishable from human conversation and has implementations where it can be far more useful than regular chatbots – customer services, for example.

Can I use Chat GPT on my phone?

Yes, you can use Chat GPT on your phone. There’s nothing preventing you from doing so, as the mobile web version of the app will allow you to carry out the same actions as on a desktop browser. 

Of course, you actually need a phone number for Chat GPT if you want to log in. And the ability to use it on a smartphone makes mobile use very easy – as long as you can connect. 

Is there Chat GPT for Android?

There is no official Chat GPT app from Open AI, and there is no information as to whether there will be. There are purported ‘Chat GPT apps’ available in the Play Store, but these are not from the company. 

Importantly, Chat GPT makes use of the GPT-3 model which is only accessible via the OpenAI Chat GPT page. But although there is no Android (or iPhone) app from OpenAI, you can access Chat GPT on your mobile device by going to the same URL. 

What is Chat GPT good for?

Chat GPT is pretty good at generating text which mimics human speech. This is useful if you need a post for a website or social media page, but don’t have the time to write it out yourself. It can also produce code – again, useful if you don’t have the time to write it out yourself.

Chat GPT is also good for just entertaining yourself. Ask it to tell you a joke, or for relationship advice. Just don’t take it too seriously.

Final thoughts

Chat GPT has been famous since its release and is set to revolutionize the tech world. All you have to do is go to OpenAI’s website and use it in your browser to test it for free. 

There is no specific app to use and you can use it on desktop and mobile websites. You just need to make an account and then use it for whatever you need. Be that for personal growth, expanded research, or something else. There are alternatives too, but Chat GPT is in the limelight for now!
