ChatGPT, a new chat system based on artificial intelligence from the OpenAI company, has revolutionized the internet in recent days and has renewed the debate on the capabilities that this type of tool may have in the near future and the consequences that this may have. trigger.
Launched on November 30, ChatGPT barely needed a couple of days to become a viral phenomenon and, according to its creators, it has already surpassed a million users.

The application, for now in the testing phase, allows you to chat in a multitude of languages with an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of holding conversations on almost any subject very naturally, answering an infinite number of questions and creating content almost at the same time. letter.
ChatGPT is coherent, it takes into account what has been said previously in a conversation and is capable of identifying topics that it is better not to talk about, as EFE was able to verify.
Its artificial intelligence is powered by a huge sample of text pulled from the internet, but the machine is not connected to the real-time network and their “knowledge” stops theoretically in 2021so you cannot comment on, for example, events that have occurred recently.
OpenAI, the company that created it, stands out above all the dialogue format with which it operates and the possibilities it generates.
“The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, question incorrect premises and reject inappropriate requests,” explains the firm, in whose foundation the current owner of Twitter Elon Musk participated, among others – although he later disassociated himself. – and in which tech giants like Microsoft have invested.
future assistance
According to Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, ChatGPT is for now an “early demonstration” of what it will be possible to do with language interfaces based on artificial intelligence, although he stresses that in this case it still has many limitations.
“Soon you will be able to have helpful assistants who talk to you, answer questions and give advice. Later on you can have something go and do chores for you. Eventually you will be able to have something that discovers new knowledge for you”, Altman explained on Twitter on the occasion of the product presentation.
For now, ChatGPT is accessible for free during this testing phase, whichthat its creators hope to use to introduce important improvements in the final version, which at first will not be paid for, although Altman has already said that at some point it will be necessary to “monetize” it given the large costs.
possible uses
Among the possibilities that ChatGPT offers for now, the option of using it as a quick alternative to a Google search stands out, although its results are often erroneous or contradictory. Of course, if you question one of your wrong answers, often the system is capable of admitting its mistake and looking for a solution.
But many users in recent days have highlighted the tool’s ability to help with more specific issues: for example, some programmers have used it to quickly write complex code or in unusual language and some university professor has said that the chat is capable of adequately answering some questions on their exams.
The ability of this type of system to write well-written and coherent texts also allows for numerous uses in the editorial and journalistic field. (YO)
