ChatGPT-3 is a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) architecture and has been trained on a massive amount of text data. It has the ability to generate human-like text, answer questions, and complete various language-based tasks. It can also perform well on a wide range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as text summarisation, translation, and text-to-speech. Additionally, it has the ability to generate text based on given prompt, which is unique for its large size and capability.

Professors, programmers and journalists could all be out of a job in just a few years, after the latest chatbot from the Elon Musk-founded OpenAI foundation stunned onlookers with its writing ability, proficiency at complex tasks, and ease of use. The system, called ChatGPT, is the latest evolution of the GPT family of text-generating AIs. Two years ago, the team's previous AI, GPT3, was able to generate an opinion piece for the Guardian, and ChatGPT has significant further capabilities. In the days since it was released, academics have generated responses to exam queries that they say would result in full marks if submitted by an undergraduate, and programmers have used the tool to solve coding challenges in obscure programming languages in a matter of seconds – before writing limericks explaining the functionality. Dan Gillmor, a journalism professor at Arizona State University, asked the AI to handle one of the assignments he gives his students: writing a letter to a relative giving advice regarding online security and privacy.
