Access the most talked about AI technology

Are you ready to take your AI-powered applications like chatbots, sentiment analyzers, and topic models to the next level? Then look no further than ChatGPT, the revolutionary pre-trained transformer from OpenAI. With over 100 million users and counting, ChatGPT has quickly become the fastest-growing consumer application on the market. And now, with the release of OpenAI’s API, developers everywhere can finally access the controversial and powerful natural language processing (NLP) technology.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) developed by OpenAI, one of the leading research institutes in artificial intelligence. It was designed to act as a chatbot. At its core, ChatGPT uses deep learning techniques to analyze and understand human language, allowing it to generate responses based on prompts with remarkable accuracy. While the output can be quite good, even rivaling human quality in many cases, plenty of examples of ChatGPT producing factually and/or ethically incorrect responses to questions have emerged as more and more people hack away at it.
