What is ChatGPT?
It’s the artificial-intelligence (AI) chatbot taking the world by storm since its release in November, drawing a million users within a few days – and a hundred million within two months – and prompting predictions of potentially revolutionary changes in business, culture and society. The technology it uses is called a “large language model”, which assembles a gigantic linguistic database by trawling the web, then uses complex algorithms to extract related words – and arrange them in convincingly human-like, grammatically correct sentences – in response to queries.
