ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022. The website had more than one million users after five days.[2] By January 2023, ChatGPT reached over 100 million users.[3] It got attention for its answers in many areas of knowledge but its incorrect accuracy was said to be a major drawback.[4]
As of December 2022, the chatbot was a "Research Preview" according to its website. While the chatbot is free to use, some people have heard about a paid version called ChatGPT Professional.[5] The website also warns users that the bot may give wrong information or have biased content.[6]
Misuse
ChatGPT can be used to create computer programs called malware. Malware can harm other computers, steal information, or get in to networks without permission. ChatGPT can also make messages that look like they were written by real people which could trick people.
ChatGPT can be used by students to cheat on homework or essays. ChatGPT can generate writing on many different topics, so students could use it to finish assignments without actually doing the work themselves.
