What is ChatGPT and How You Can Use It

Summary

The transcript discusses chatGPT, a new AI system from OpenAI that can have conversations and answer questions. It has exploded in popularity, gaining over 1 million users faster than companies like Netflix and Facebook. ChatGPT can provide detailed explanations to questions and problems, threatening sites like Stack Overflow that rely on human-generated content. The narrator explores what makes chatGPT so powerful. It uses an engine called Codex which also powers GitHub Copilot for coding assistance. OpenAI had previously created DALL-E for AI image generation. So chatGPT continues their goal of creating AI systems that can respond to natural language prompts. The narrator demonstrates chatGPT's capabilities. It can define terms accurately, write code, and fix errors. When provided a JavaScript error, chatGPT not only fixed the code but explained the exact issue. This leads the narrator to predict chatGPT could act like a personal assistant for developers. The AI can also respond to everyday requests - when asked for low-carb meal ideas and a shopping list, chatGPT generated thoughtful suggestions. The narrator believes chatGPT will have staying power like Google due to its revolutionary abilities. It could assist many industries by responding to natural language. While exciting, this does raise concerns about the future of certain jobs. Sites relying on human expertise may need to adapt if AIs like chatGPT can provide detailed, human-like responses. The narrator is very optimistic about the potential of chatGPT and other language AIs, predicting they will become indispensable parts of our everyday lives.

Transcripts

chat GPT is one of the most trending

topics right now it's been less than a

week since its release and people's

minds are being blown with what it can

do it's also breaking records with over

1 million users signed up in just 5 days

faster than Netflix Twitter Facebook

even Instagram no longer will you be

Googling the answers to problems Chad

GPT and gives breakdowns of them in fine

detail with explanations exactly how it

works this will make people question

just how relevant Google will be in the

coming future do you want to know the

limitations of typescript chat GPT has

you covered but what exactly is Chad GPT

what makes it so powerful these are

things I wanted to find out it's built

by the same people that are behind open

AI which are now shaping some really

interesting Technologies and they've

been building powerful engines like

codex which is the engine behind GitHub

co-pilot something that many of us are

already using in our day-to-day coding

on vs code and if you're looking closely

you might see the beginnings of chat GPT

where people put in prompts and they get

outputs from an AI generated system

another example was Dali 2 which was an

image generator based on prompts you

enter here you get different types of

visualizations of a Spaceman on a horse

and lots of other examples even

extending out classical artwork chat GPT

is therefore a way of prompting an AI to

solve or answer a question or a prompt

in a human-like manner very different

from anything else we've seen before and

this can sound scary very scary

especially to organizations like stack

Overflow which Pride themselves on

solving problems with human related

answers they've actually gone as far as

Banning chat gbt out from their systems

this is because they want to build a

level of Trust on there and if people

simply copy paste answers from GPT

without any references that might break

that level of trust this is all quite

interesting but let me have a look at

chat GPT under the hood by actually

using it and seeing just how useful it

will become as part of our day-to-day

lives in development as well as any

industry in case you didn't know chat

GPT is entirely free if you want to try

it out yourself simply go to open AI log

in with a brand new account and then

select the chat GPT interface I'm quite

fond of the design it's nice and simple

giving you the examples as well as some

capabilities and limitations of chat GPT

some of these capabilities are quite

powerful things like remembering what a

user said in a conversation and

providing follow-up corrections as well

the first thing I wanted to do is to see

if it could tell me what python or

typescript is and it gave me a pretty

sound answer saying that typescript is a

programming language that's a superset

of JavaScript since I haven't actually

used typescript before I decided to ask

it if it could give me a Hello World

function not only did it write the

function in such a manner that I could

literally copy paste it out but it also

explained the function to me and this is

really just the beginning and here is

where things get interesting I've been

working on a small application and I was

getting an error that I couldn't figure

out I decided to copy paste this error

into chatgpt to see what it would say

here's some JavaScript in vs code for a

upload for a video app I'm working this

code is fairly when I try to run it in

node.js I copy pasted this straight into

chat GPT asking if it could fix the

following code for me what I received

back was my code fixed and not only that

chatgpt went through and gave me the

code to copy paste and even explain to

me exactly what was wrong why it was

wrong and how it was fixed in this

example I had written my return function

incorrectly basically making a bit of a

typo and here it's gone through and

fixed that return making sure that it's

spelled correctly it's also been a bit

cheeky here adding in a comment that it

fixed the typo right here on the line

where it says return if I didn't know

any better this could have come from a

real human even for example a mentor or

a supervisor that could be checking and

reviewing your code and this makes me

question exactly what things might look

like in the future of development

because this could really be like a

personal assistant officer but chat GPT

has a lot of relevance even outside of

programming since it's practical to

pretty much anything here I wanted to

create a list of food I can eat that

don't include carbs because I'm trying

to lose a little bit of weight it gave

me three dishes that I can have grilled

chicken as well as shrimp as well as

some omelets taking this one step

further I asked if it could create a

shopping list for me based on those

meals and yes it did that very easily

not only that it indented them and made

them nice and readable I think that chat

GPT is here to stay I think it'll be

revolutionary it'll become part of our

day-to-day lives similar to how Google

has and not only that it's going to

revolutionize so many Industries once

they take full advantage of it that's

just my opinion though what do you guys

think let me know in the comments below

and if you haven't already make sure you
