ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by U.S. company OpenAI that uses large language models from a massive dataset of text to engage in human-like conversations, generate different text formats, translate languages and answer questions in a comprehensive way.
The program launched in 2022.
ChatGPT allows users to interact with the chatting tool much like they could with another human, with the chatbot generating conversational responses to questions or prompts.
Proponents say ChatGPT could reinvent online search engines and could assist with research, information writing, content creation and customer service chatbots. However, the service has at times become controversial, with some critics raising concerns that ChatGPT and similar programs fuel online misinformation and enable students to plagiarize.
