Introducing ChatGPT
C
hatGPT is a huge phenomenon and a major paradigm shift
in the accelerating march of technological progression. It’s
a large language model (LLM) that belongs to a category of
AI (artificial intelligence) called generative AI, which can generate
new content rather than simply analyze existing data. Additionally,
anyone can interact with ChatGPT in their own words. A natural,
humanlike dialog ensues.
In this chapter, you learn where and how to access ChatGPT, why
you should bother, the pros and cons of using it, and whether
common fears are justified or wildly off base.
