What is ChatGPT-

OpenAI has created ChatGPT, a start-up focused on artificial intelligence and its potential use cases.
OpenAI’s notable investors include Microsoft, Khosla Ventures and Reid Hoffman’s charitable foundation.
It is based on the company’s GPT 3.5 series of language learning models (LLM).
GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 and this is a kind of computer language model that relies on deep learning techniques to produce human-like text based on inputs.
ChatGPT can answer follow-up questions, and can also admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.
Currently, it is open in beta to all users.
ChatGPT has been trained to decline ‘inappropriate’ requests, presumably those which are ‘illegal’ in nature.
ChatGPT is capable of writing fiction but not at the level of humans.
Other chatbots include Google-led LaMDA.

Will ChatGPT replace humans when it comes to writing?

The chatbot gives answers which are grammatically correct and read well– though sometimes it lack context and substance, which is largely true.
