There was generative AI before the ChatGPT, and there was generative AI after. Before its launch in November 2022, Google searches for ‘AI’ were trundling along as they have done for many years. When ChatGPT arrived, they began to soar, and have been rising ever since.
ChatGPT’s premise was revolutionary. Rather than retrieving digital information from a search bar, a chatbot could now give more specific answers to a query and generate large volumes of coherent text. Later releases enabled the creation of custom GPTs that can do specific tasks, code and do deep data analysis.
It being the first general purpose chatbot on the market, it now has 80% of the chatbot market share with close to 300m regular users. Its developer, Open AI, has become one of the most valuable startups on Earth. The tool has a dizzying range of potential applications and can be useful for almost anyone who works with a computer.
ChatGPT is a general purpose AI chatbot designed for conversation that can draw on extensive training on human written content as well as live internet access. The tools strengths lie in its ability to understand context and generate coherent responses that align well with user requests, and a variety of features that despite being quite advanced are easy to use.
It serves countless use cases and is easy to use, with our top uses including preparing data, answering questions about long documents and knowledge bases, summarising content, and writing and editing code and formulas.
It operates effectively in both casual conversations and more structured environments, making it a versatile tool for businesses and individuals seeking to enhance their productivity, learn new skills and topics.
ChatGPT is useful for almost anyone that works regularly with computers, in countless contexts and jobs. It’s not become the biggest AI tool around for nothing, and at $20 per month for a pro account, it’s our view that it’s a bargain.
