OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been leading the charge in the artificial intelligence (AI) movement since its release last fall. It has caught the attention of executives at major companies like Twitter, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta, inspiring them to pursue their own generative AI projects. By January 2023, ChatGPT had amassed 100 million users, making it the fastest-growing ‘app’ of all time, even surpassing TikTok before being dethroned by Threads in July. The AI chatbot’s popularity and performance have led some to ponder whether it could potentially replace programmers, writers, and even doctors, as well as revolutionize various industries.
To access ChatGPT, simply go to chat.openai.com and create an account through email, Google, or Microsoft. Once logged in, the tool’s window will display various features, such as the new chat button, chat history, account settings, your prompts, ChatGPT’s responses, the text input area, and more. Users can employ ChatGPT for a wide range of projects, spanning from software development to writing and translations, among others.
The AI chatbot responds to prompts with thoroughly-generated text that can be highly useful for content generation. This makes it a valuable tool for various endeavors, from writing essays to summarizing books. Users can start a conversation with ChatGPT using prompts such as questions, code analysis, poem writing, and more. Additionally, an iOS and Android app is available for mobile users to access ChatGPT while on the go.
