What is it ? What’s the big deal ?
ChatGPT is a conversational AI that has a wide, seemingly unlimited data store of common knowledge. It appears to possess conversational common sense and is quite useful as a basic and general AI tool. Whatever issue you might have at the moment, ChatGPT will probably have something mostly coherent to say. It’s truly a magical tool the first time you use it.
The big deal aspect of ChatGPT comes from its general nature and the immediate usefulness it has demonstrated. In the past month or so, it has more or less successfully helped with a variety of tasks such as:
- Writing a letter to a grieving friend
- Providing starter code for a dozen or so software projects
