ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model that has the ability to process and generate human-like text. It is a product of the latest breakthroughs in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, which has enabled it to become one of the most advanced language models to date.
The development of ChatGPT started with a research paper published in 2018 by OpenAI, a leading research lab in the field of artificial intelligence. In the paper, the researchers introduced a new model called GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) that could generate coherent and human-like text using unsupervised learning. The initial GPT model had 117 million parameters and was pre-trained on a large corpus of text data from the internet.
