What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a chatbot developed by OpenAI and released in 2020. Elon Musk and Sam Altman founded a well-known company in 2015 that created the DALL-E artificial intelligence tool that generates images from text. The main design goal of ChatGPT is to generate human responses so that it can be used as a communication tool.
You can call it an AI language model built on a transformer architecture and powered by a deep learning algorithm. It can explain language patterns and generate coherent and contextually relevant responses.
However, the most intriguing aspect of the tool is its conversational format, which allows you to answer previously asked questions by turning the search into conversational mode. Another intriguing aspect of the AI language model is that it accepts feedback when faced with incorrect facts, but fails to understand the consequences of such feedback.
Can ChatGPT be used for free?
- Free Version: While the chatbot is available for free to regular users, the company invests a whopping $3 million monthly to keep it running. However, if you use it excessively, you may exceed the usage limit and receive a notification that “too many requests in one hour”. This restriction is in place so that the feature can serve all users.
- Paid version. To meet the needs of users, the company has launched a subscription service called ChatGPT Plus, which starts at $20 per month. This version provides services such as fast resolution of requests, priority access to the latest features, and most importantly, access during peak hours.
It is important to note that the paid subscription is currently only available to customers in the US through the referral system. You should have received an email in your inbox if you joined the waiting list there. In addition, OpenAI plans to expand access to paid subscriptions to more regions in the near future.
