ChatGPT & AI in College

Library guide about ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence in college.

How does Chat GPT work?

What exactly is chat GPT?

It is a type of artificial intelligence that can understand and generate natural language text. It is trained on large amounts of text data and uses an algorithm called a transformer to learn how to generate text that is similar to human conversation.

How does chat GPT work?

Well, first it is fed a large dataset of text, such as articles or conversations. It then uses this data to learn the patterns and structure of language. Once it has learned enough about language, it can generate its own text based on a given prompt or topic.

For example, let’s say you ask a chat GPT about the weather. It might generate a response like “The weather today is sunny and warm, with a high of 75 degrees.” It is able to generate this response because it has learned about weather patterns and how to describe them in natural language.

Algorithm Behind Chat GPT!

Now, you might be wondering what algorithm is used to train chat GPT. As I mentioned earlier, it uses a transformer algorithm. This algorithm is based on a neural network, which is a type of computer program that is designed to mimic the way the human brain works. The transformer algorithm is able to analyze and understand large amounts of data, such as text, and use this understanding to generate text that is similar to human conversation.

So, to sum it up, chat GPT is a type of artificial intelligence that can understand and generate natural language text. It is trained using a transformer algorithm and large amounts of text data, and is able to generate responses to prompts or questions based on what it has learned.
