Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower,\u201d says Alan Kay, the most renowned American computer scientist, and some of them consider him the father of the personal computer<\/span><\/p>

What is AI?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Before dwelling into ChatGPT, in simple terms, let us understand AI or Artificial Intelligence.\u201dArtificial Intelligence is the science of making machines think like humans,\u201d says Aruna Pattam, an AI and Data Science expert. says Alan Kay, the most renowned American computer scientist, and some of them consider him the father of the personal computer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

AI can process large amounts of data, similar to humans but slightly more efficiently. It reads the data, understands its underlying pattern and structure, and provides relevant and refined outputs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Unveiling ChatGPT<\/strong><\/p>

ChatGPT is a conversational language model. In simple terms, an AI that answers questions or performs text-based tasks. All the results produced by ChatGPT are text-based. Other AI models can create images, audio, and video outputs.<\/span><\/p>
