What is ChatGPT
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT-4 architecture and is capable of generating human-like responses to natural language queries.
The AI tool can be used for a variety of tasks, including language translation, content creation, and text summarization.
