What exactly is ChatGPT? - CBS Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS – Since its public launch in November, ChatGPT has taken the world by storm. The free artificial intelligence chatbot has attracted the attention of giant companies like Microsoft, who will reportedly cut a potential $10 billion deal with the company who owns ChatGPT, OpenAI. "What's unique about this is that it presents information in a way that a human would," says Gene Munster, a managing partner for Loup Ventures, a technology research and investment firm. "It essentially has the ability to think." Artificial intelligence research has been happening for decades, but only recently has it gotten good enough that OpenAI released its ChatGPT chatbot to the public via an easy-to-use website.
