ChatGPT is a chatbot and virtual assistant developed by OpenAI that enables the user to refine and maneuver a conversation to a desired format, style, level of detail, language and length.
ChatGPT, unlike Google or other search engines, was created to mimic human conversations, so it is more like talking to your friend about a topic. I find this tool useful and time-saving because it helps me cut right to the chase and provides a valuable hint to work with
Features of ChatGPT
• Can debug and write computer programs
• Can answer test questions dependent on the text
• Can write poetry and stories. I used it to create a story about a teenage love that went sour because of rivalry.
Pros: It is easy to learn and use.
Unlike Google, ChatGPT is created to be conversational.
Has a translator that enables you to translate into any language and helps pronounce the translated text.
For example, You go to a bar in Paris and want to order a drink from a native French bartender. All you need to do is type your words in ChatGPT and it will translate, the fun part is, that ChatGPT can help you with the right pronunciation, sounds amazing right?
Cons: It doesn’t have recent data. Data is based on the existing version
Only a paid subscription enables ChatGPT to search the web in real-time
