Introduction: ChatGPT is a language model that can generate human-like text responses after several prompts.
In just 2 months it reached 100 million users. One analyst wrote: "In the 20 years since the creation of the Internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer Internet application."
What is ChatGPT?
In basic terms, ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. Users can type in any question, text or prompt, and ChatGPT will generate text in response. The result is close to the experience of instant messaging with a real person. In OpenAI's own words, the goal of ChatGPT is to provide information in a conversational manner.
How does ChatGPT work?
ChatGPT uses a deep neural network trained on a large amount of text data. A neural network is a computer system that uses the structure and function of the human brain as a model. It consists of a series of interconnected nodes or artificial neurons that can make decisions based on the information processed.
During training, ChatGPT was given countless examples of input-output pairs, allowing it to learn the relationships between language inputs and outputs.
Material was taken from a wide range of Internet texts, such as websites, books and social networks. The developers also selected and filtered the data to ensure its quality.
When an input prompt is given, ChatGPT uses its training to generate probabilities related to all possible responses. Based on its data, training and proprietary neural network, the response with the highest probability is selected as output.
