What is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot developed by AI (Artificial Intelligence) research company OpenAI. The chatbot understands natural language and responds like a human. ChatGPT is based on GPT-3.5, which is a language model. The chatbot was presented as a prototype on November 30, 2022. Since it was released to the public as a trial version, ChatGPT has been used in various ways; it has been asked to compose poetry and music, treated as a search engine, and even feared that it will cost the job to the people. But to date, he had not been asked to appear for an examination. The friendly chatbot can also pass an MBA exam. However, it has a weakness many of you could relate to math.
