ChatGPT shrugged • TechCrunch

ChatGPT is a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that's designed to help people communicate with computers in a more natural and intuitive way -- using natural language processing (NLP) technology. But what's behind the development of ChatGPT and how can the tech be used to help humanity? That rather bland lede, which we've slightly edited, was generated by OpenAI's ChatGPT in response to a prompt by this (human) reporter. TechCrunch kicked off a conversation with the large language model by asking it to explain its function and purpose. We wanted to see if we could use the chatbot-style Q&A format it's most recently been embedded into to probe the tech and get AI to articulate some of its limitations.
