A brief introduction of ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is the new buzz nowadays. Let's understand, in brief, what is ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is a powerful language model developed by OpenAI. GPT stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer ”. It has been trained on a massive amount of diverse text data from the internet, allowing it to understand and generate human-like responses.

ChatGPT can engage in conversational interactions with users, providing information, answering questions, and assisting with various tasks. ChatGPT is designed to assist users in a wide range of domains, including providing general knowledge, offering explanations, helping with creative writing, aiding in coding tasks, and more. It can handle both structured and unstructured conversations, adapting to different conversational styles and user inputs.

The free version of ChatGPT is 3.5 while the latest paid version is ChatGPT 4. It responds when you ask something to it in the form of a prompt.

What is a prompt and how to use it to interact with ChatGPT?

A prompt is a way to interact with Chatgpt. In simple terms, whatever we ask or the questions we ask to Chatgpt are prompts. To use a prompt with ChatGPT, you simply provide a statement or question as the input to the model. The prompt should be clear and specific, outlining the desired outcome or the type of response you expect. Providing clear instructions, and specifying the format, is the key to getting the desired answer.

For example, I want to know the top 5 highest-paid jobs in India. For that, below is the prompt that we can use in Chatgpt.

“Please provide a list of the top 5 highest paying jobs in India, considering factors such as salary, industry, and demand. Include information on the average salaries or salary ranges for these positions.”

A prompt should be very specific and simple. The user should explain the details in the prompt. The better the explanation, the better will be the result.

ChatGPT for programmers?

ChatGPT is changing the way programmers write code. People are using this AI technology to be more productive. From beginners to experts, all can use ChatGPT to get more accurate results.

Fig 1: Asking ChatGPT to write a program for me and explain it.

In the above image, we have asked for a program in Python to add numbers. ChatGPT can write the same for you and if you give a prompt to explain the same for you, it will do it.

ChatGPT as a productive tool.

Recently I have been preparing for my interviews and for this, I am taking help from ChatGPT. So for that, I went to ChatGPT and asked for important topics and questions along with answers so that I can prepare for interviews.

ChatGPT is not limited to just a few use cases but can be used in a number of ways to make things faster and specific.
