Introduction to ChatGPT
Welcome to the course! In this section, we'll begin our journey by answering a fundamental question: What is ChatGPT?
Functionally, you can think of ChatGPT as a virtual assistant. It's an AI chatbot developed to simulate human conversation. It was trained on massive amounts of text data from across the internet and is designed to identify patterns in language. But it's important to understand: ChatGPT is not intelligentβit mimics intelligence.
At its core, ChatGPT operates similarly to the predictive text feature on your smartphone. When you type, your phone guesses the next word based on what you usually say. ChatGPT does the same, but on a much larger and more complex scale, using everything it's learned from the internet.
This enables ChatGPT to answer questions, brainstorm, role-play, summarize information, and much more. To demonstrate, let's take a look at how ChatGPT responds to a basic inquiry.
That's your basic introduction to ChatGPT! You now know what it is, how it works, how to get started, and what to expect from different pricing tiers.
