ChatGPT is what everyone is talking about right now. The artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbot, created by OpenAI, has become the fastest-growing consumer application in history, crossing 100 million users in just two months. As the number of users continues to rise, OpenAI has been busy with introducing unique updates to make ChatGPT more accurate in its responses and factually robust.
The massive popularity of the chatbot has been indeed astonishing. According to a UBS study, the AI-powered chatbot clocked 13 million unique visitors per day in January. TikTok, one of the world's most famous social media apps, took around nine months from its launch to hit the 100 million mark in monthly active users. Meta-owned Instagram, which is almost every month coming up with new updates and features, took two-and-half years to reach the number.
Before we check out the updates, let's try to know what it is about this chatbot that makes it stand above the rest and challenge the authority and dominance of search engine behemoth Google.
Why is ChatGPT famous?
Users are turning to this tool for its obvious utility: it is an AI that can generate human-like responses to almost any question the user may have. The answer is often well-structured and loaded with precise details.
Built on Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), ChatGPT is essentially a neural network learning model through which a machine can be trained to perform tasks that fall within the purview of natural language processing (NLP).
To put it simply, the GPT enables this new chatbot to respond in a conversational way, and the neural network is essentially a learning algorithm which makes the chatbots mimic the brain and understand human languages as they are spoken or typed.
Yet, despite all the hype surrounding it, this tool is still a work in progress.
Many have found problems with its answers, especially with regard to factual accuracy, since the information in it is limited to 2021. This means that the chatbot cannot give accurate answers to queries that would be connected to events after it, such as 'who won the FIFA World Cup 2022?' and similar questions.
Also, there are concerns over the manner in which it can be abused into giving answers it is programmed not to, such as generating ransomware or phishing emails — two of the biggest dark sides of the AI chatbot that researchers have been able to point at.
And, that's why updates become all the more important before it grows into the go-to search engine or digital assistant.
