ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI and released in November 2022.
This generative AI model has been designed to generate text with a more natural flow, giving you the feeling of conversing with a real person. When you type in a query, you should receive a response that includes several sentences or paragraphs.
ChatGPT can help you write stuff, come up with ideas, write code, explain things, create music, etc. But you'd better not think of it as Google or Alexa, but rather learn how to use it in the right way so that it can really help you solve problems.

How to sign up
To use ChatGPT from OpenAI, you'll need an account. If you don't have one, simply register with your Google or Microsoft account.
In order to register for OpenAI, you must enter a phone number. After that, you can add your email address, either manually or from one of the available options. Finally, a confirmation number will be sent to you, which you must enter on the registration page to complete the setup.
How to use
OpenAI's ChatGPT tool is designed to give detailed responses to any inquiry you type - from questions to statements. While the best results come from inputting a statement, questions are also accepted.
For example, if you type "explain how a combustion engine works" you'll get a more detailed result than if you asked "how does a combustion engine work". You can also get more specific and request a specific number of paragraphs for an essay or a Wikipedia page.
ChatGPT is not foolproof, though; if there is not enough data available, it may fill in the gaps with incorrect information. OpenAI notes this is rare and that the tool also currently has “limited knowledge of world events after 2021”, since it was trained on data before the date. It is possible that OpenAI enables, that the tool can lookup the internet for more information, but this is disabled for now.
To ensure accuracy, you can input queries continuously until you close your browser or reset the thread to clear your previous requests. You can also choose to view the page in either dark or light mode.
