OpenAI has released a prototype general purpose chatbot, ChatGPT, which is adapted from their GPT-3.5 model and trained to provide more conversational answers. ChatGPT is capable of engaging with a wide range of topics and demonstrating big improvements to chatbots seen even a few years ago. However, it also suffers from the same weaknesses as other AI chatbots, such as confidently presenting false or invented information as fact. The bot was created with the help of human trainers and reinforcement learning, and OpenAI has put it online to get external feedback in order to improve their systems and make them safer.
