OpenAI states that their ChatGPT model, trained using a machine learning technique called Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), can simulate dialogue, answer follow-up questions, admit mistakes, challenge incorrect premises and reject inappropriate requests. Initial development involved human AI trainers providing the model with conversations in which they played both sides - the user and an AI assistant. The version of the bot available for public testing attempts to understand questions posed by users and responds with in-depth answers resembling human-written text in a conversational format. A tool like ChatGPT could be used in real-world applications such as digital marketing, online content creation, answering customer service queries or as some users have found, even to help debug code. The bot can respond to a large range of questions while imitating human speaking styles.

ChatGPT is a popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that can answer complex questions like a human might. Estimates say the chatbot got more than 100 million users in January, just two months after its launch. This makes ChatGPT the fastest-growing app in history, having easily surpassed TikTok and Instagram. But as ChatGPT grows in popularity and other tech companies begin making similar products, questions about the need to regulate these AI products will emerge. It so happens that one of the people who created ChatGPT believes that such conversations should already be happening, and they have to include governments.
