What is CHAT GPT?

CHAT GPT is an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated chatbot (stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer).

It works by pulling from various content to create an original response to your written prompts/queries.

Released to the public -- free (3.5) & paid (4.0) versions -- in November 2022. Other names include Jasper, YouChat, Bing Chat, and Chatsonic. Google Bard uses LaMDA, not Chat GPT language model.

What content can AI generate?

• Write code

• Compose essays & research papers - with citations

• Make lists

• Create lesson plans

• Solve math problems step-by-step

• Generate art

• Summarize/paraphrase/analyze any text (and video)

Academic Concerns

Chat GPT can pass tough exams!

Science Fiction -- Not So Fictional?

Limitations of ChatGPT

• Information is not always accurate (A.I. Hallucination)

• ChatGPT's knowledge is still limited to 2021 data, which means it can't answer current questions.

• A.I. bias

• Harmful results

• Can't respond to inappropriate requests

Example of inappropriate request

Poll

Identify the human-written response to: "Why is Washington D.C. the capital of the USA?"

• Washington, D.C. was established as the capital of the United States in 1790, as part of a compromise between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. At the time, there was disagreement over whether the federal government should assume responsibility for the debts of the states incurred during the American Revolutionary War.

• On July 16, 1790, a compromise between Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison—known as the Residence Act—was passed, declaring George Washington’s selection of a site on the Potomac River as the nation’s new permanent capital. As part of the agreement, the federal government assumed the states’ debts.

This is the human-written text. This excerpt is from the History.com website and was written by their editors in 2019.

​This is the ChatGPT-generated response to the same prompt.
