MakeUseOf: “OpenAI’s new AI chatbot is here; ChatGPT. Here’s how to use it and what you can expect. From the makers of DALL-E and GPT-3 comes an incredible new AI chatbot called ChatGPT. OpenAI has granted public access to ChatGPT for free during a research period, allowing us to glimpse into the future of what life with AI might look like. Drafting a letter to your boss, explaining difficult ideas, or suggesting some gift ideas are just a few things ChatGPT can do, all you need to do is type a question. Far from being perfect, it still has its limitations, but for now, it’s well worth checking out while you can.”
