ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed, is rapidly taking over the world by storm. Developed by OpenAI in November 2022, it is a chatbot primarily designed for customer service, but people have started using it for other purposes too. These range from writing essays to drafting business plans, to generating code. But what can it really do?

The main feature of ChatGPT is generating responses similar to what humans could provide; it has the ability to write essays, code, and generate reports. Many companies are even beginning to use the program to create initial drafts such as preliminary movie and television scripts. There are many advantages to using ChatGPT, some of which are improved customer service, increased speed, and productivity.

But with all of these advantages, there are also downsides. With more companies relying on ChatGPT to write their reports and projects, more and more people may be out of a job. Not only will this hurt employment opportunities, but also the final product. Because while ChatGPT can provide answers and feedback, it cannot replace the creativity and intellect of actual humans. Furthermore, no one knows what type of implications ChatGPT will have as it begins to creep into schools. If students start to rely too heavily on ChatGPT, they may lose the ability to problem-solve and write on their own. Not only this but because ChatGPT may collect data on students’ interactions, there is a risk that this data could fall into the wrong hands.

ChatGPT is a fascinating new development in technology and can be a valuable tool. However, it should not be viewed as a replacement for humans and it is important to discuss how to use ChatGPT responsibly as we move forward.
