ChatGPT hits 100 million users, makes history as fastest - growing platform

 

OpenAI's ChatGPT is popular, we all know that. But AI has even broken world records in popularity. ChatGPT has reportedly reached unprecedented levels of success just two months after its launch. A recent study by UBS claims that the chatbot has gained 100 million monthly active users, making it the fastest-growing consumer application in history. ChatGPT is only a few months old and already causing waves in the business world.

The Microsoft-backed chatbot's ability to generate articles, essays, scripts, and poetry has made it a hit among users, who can access the application for free. To further sustain its growth and offer a more stable and faster service, OpenAI recently introduced a premium subscription.

 


What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is an easy-to-use artificial intelligence tool that answers questions posed by users with relevant, natural-sounding answers and topics.

The AI chatbot responds in a human-like way and it is designed to mimic real conversations. The bot can explain, recollect what was said earlier in the conversations, elaborate on ideas, and even apologise when it is wrong.

It can deliver an essay or computer code in response to queries within seconds. OpenAI has trained ChatGPT on billions of words and a ton of data from the web.

 

How to use ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can be only used via a web page. OpenAI has not yet released an official app for the chatbot.

 

Is ChatGPT accurate?

ChatGPT is powered by an AI language model that is nearly three years old - OpenAI's GPT 3 - and the chatbot only uses a part of its capability. The chatbot answers queries based on data from the internet, which, as we all know, contains tons of misinformation and false news.

This of course raises the specter of disinformation and spamming carried out at an industrial scale. In some cases, ChatGPT admits to not knowing the answers, while sometimes the bot gives wrong answers with utmost confidence. The due diligence eventually lies with the user.

The launch of ChatGPT has given OpenAI a significant edge over other AI companies. This headstart is expected to give the AI valuable feedback to continue training the chatbot's responses. Despite conducting mass layoffs, Microsoft recently announced a multi-billion-dollar investment in OpenAI. This highlights the importance of AI for the tech giant.

 

ChatGPT is also facing flak from the academic community. The tool has raised questions about the potential for academic dishonesty and the spread of misinformation. In order to counter that, OpenAI has created a new tool that helps detect AI-written text. However, they have acknowledged that the accuracy levels of the tool is still pretty low.

Experts say ChatGPT and related AI could threaten some jobs, particularly white-collar ones.

 

Does ChatGPT store conversations?

Yes, OpenAI stores bot’s conversations with users to improve systems. “As part of our commitment to safe and responsible AI, we review conversations to improve our systems and to ensure the content complies with our policies and safety requirements,” as per OpenAI’s website.

 

What are the alternatives for ChatGPT?

While no other AI-driven chatbot is even remotely popular as ChatGPT, some of the alternatives include – ChatSonic, WriteSonic, Jasper, LaMDA, and Replika, among others.

 

Google Planning to Launch ChatGPT Rival?

Google, the search giant, is seen as the primary competition to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The Alphabet-owned company will be conducting an event on February 8 with new services focussed on AI. The company has not confirmed if this new service will be a direct rival to ChatGPT or focus on enhancing other existing Google AI platforms like Lens.
