What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that was built on a family of large language models (LLMs). If you're curious, ChatGPT stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Essentially, that means because of it's training using vast amounts of data, ChatGPT can understand and generate human-like answers to text-based prompts. Tasks like summarizing content, generating essays, creating articles and writing poetry are all within the current realm of possibilities for ChatGPT.
