ChatGPT is one of several chatbots that use deep learning to enhance their performance. It integrates questions and prompts provided by the user and adds the experience to the algorithm, thus improving the overall quality of the program. ChatGPT is a generative AI, meaning it can create content without directly copying the source. It does not organically create, however, as it is amalgamating a variety of information to provide responses to user-made requests. Better examples of generative AI capabilities can be seen in programs that produce art. These programs, such as Mid-Journey and Dall-E, compile a vast amount of artwork and images and can produce art in styles like known artists and creators. It all depends on how well the user can prompt and command the AI algorithm. The same principle applies to ChatGPT.Who made it?
It was created by OpenAI, a startup that has been funded and fostered by the tech giant Microsoft. OpenAI is well funded, being among the top-ranked machine learning platform companies in 2022. ChatGPT is not their only major project as the company also released Dall-E, a generative AI art program in the early summer of 2022. Artificial intelligence is of great interest to Microsoft and other tech giants as it offers a chance for cost decrease throughout their enterprises as well as providing a helping hand to continued worker shortages in the Western world. The AI market is also large and growing, being likely to more than quintuple by 2030.
