Introduction

OpenAI is proud to present ChatGPT, a powerful model designed to engage in conversational interactions. Unlike traditional AI language models, ChatGPT excels in providing follow-up responses, admitting errors, challenging premises, and rejecting inappropriate requests, making it an excellent conversational partner.

Meet ChatGPT

ChatGPT is closely related to Instruct GPT, another impressive AI model trained to follow instructions and deliver detailed responses. With ChatGPT, we aim to gather user feedback, learn from its strengths and weaknesses, and continuously improve its capabilities.

Get Started with ChatGPT

During the research preview phase, we’re excited to offer free usage of ChatGPT. Experience its conversational prowess now at chat.openai.com.

ChatGPT in Action: Samples

Below are a few fascinating examples showcasing ChatGPT’s capabilities:

ChatGPT debugs code by asking clarifying questions.
Initially, ChatGPT refuses to answer a question that could involve illegal activities but responds after the user clarifies their intent.
ChatGPT understands references from previous questions, improving conversational flow.
ChatGPT provides responses to follow-up instructions, making it versatile and helpful.
Addressing Concerns: Limitations

While ChatGPT showcases remarkable conversational abilities, it does have certain limitations:

Sometimes provides plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers due to the lack of a definitive source of truth during reinforcement learning training.
Sensitivity to input phrasing or slight rephrases, resulting in different responses.
Tendency to be excessively verbose or overuse certain phrases due to biases in the training data and optimization challenges.
Limited ability to ask clarifying questions for ambiguous queries, leading to occasional guesswork.
Despite efforts to refuse inappropriate requests, ChatGPT may still respond to harmful instructions or exhibit biased behavior. We’re using the Moderation API to mitigate this, but false positives and negatives may occur.
Our Commitment to Improvement

As we introduce ChatGPT, we remain committed to refining its capabilities. User feedback is vital to our ongoing work, helping us make continuous advancements in AI language models and ensuring a safe, responsible, and inclusive user experience.

Experience the power of ChatGPT today and join us in shaping the future of conversational AI. Together, we’ll build a smarter and more thoughtful virtual assistant to enhance our interactions with technology.
