ChatGPT is a natural language chatbot most recently released by OpenAI, and it has officially gone viral.
Major news platforms spanning The New York Times, CNN, Forbes, Forrester (and, yes, even me in early December) have been exhausting the topic due to its outstanding popularity.
You may not know that GPT-3 technology has already been available and commercialized in products like Jasper and Grammarly via API for close to a year.
The latest release, however, was made available and free as a “research preview.”
Previously only accessible to those who could connect an API (not most of us), you can now open up the ChatGPT bot on your browser and use it for free.
That is if the site hasn’t crashed -I’ve had my own issues logging in.
