  • ChatGPT


ChatGPT is a conversational agent that can chat with humans on various topics using natural language. It is based on GPT-3, one of the most advanced language models ever created by OpenAI. 

ChatGPT can generate responses to user input in a chatbot or virtual assistant1, generate text in a chat-like style1, and generate personalized responses to user input.

Some of the features that make ChatGPT stand out are:

  • Natural language understanding: ChatGPT can understand the meaning and context of user input, as well as handle different types of queries such as questions, commands, requests, etc.

  • Conversational style: ChatGPT can adapt its tone and style to match the user’s mood, personality, and preferences. It can also use emojis, slang, humor, and other elements of natural conversation.

  • Personality traits: ChatGPT can express output in a style or “persona” that suits the purpose or domain of the chatbot or app2. For example, it can be friendly, professional, witty, sarcastic, etc.

Some examples of ChatGPT conversations or use cases are:

Translate text: ChatGPT can translate anybody of text into 95 different languages. 

For example:

User: How do you say “hello” in French? ChatGPT: Bonjour.


  • Generate code: ChatGPT can write code from natural language commands.

For example:

User: Create falling letters effect like that of the Matrix movie by using HTML, CSS and Javascript ChatGPT: 

<html> <head> <style>

{ margin: 0; padding: 0; }
body { background-color: black; }

.container { position: relative; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

.letter { position: absolute; color: green; font-family: monospace; }

</style> </head> <body> <div class=“container”></div> <script> // create an array of characters var chars = “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789”;

// create an array of letters var letters = [];

// create a function to create a letter function createLetter() {

// create a random character var char = chars[Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length)];

// create a random size var size = Math.floor(Math.random() * (30 - 10) + 10);

// create a random speed var speed = Math.floor(Math.random() * (10 - 5) + 5);

// create a random position var x = Math.floor(Math.random() * window.innerWidth); var y = -size;

// create a letter element var letter = document.createElement(“div”); letter.classList.add(“letter”); letter.textContent = char; letter.style.fontSize = size + “px”; letter.style.left = x + “px”; letter.style.top = y + “px”;

// add some properties to the letter object letter.char = char; letter.size = size; letter.speed = speed;

// append the letter element to the container element
document.querySelector(".container").appendChild(letter);

// push the letter object to the letters array
letters.push(letter);
}

// create a function to update the letters function updateLetters() {

// loop through each letter object in the letters array
for (var i = letters.length -1; i >=0; i--) {

    // get the current letter object
    var letter = letters[i];

    // update its position by adding its speed value 
    letter.style.top = parseInt(letter.style.top) + letter.speed + "px";

    // if it reaches beyond window height remove it from DOM and array 
    if (parseInt(letter.style.top) > window.innerHeight) {
        document.querySelector(".container").removeChild(letter);
        letters.splice(i ,1);
    }
}
}

// set an interval to call both functions every frame setInterval(function(){ createLetter(); updateLetters(); },1000/60);

</script> </body> </html>

  • Generate meta descriptions: ChatGPT can generate concise and catchy meta descriptions for web pages from text content. 

For example:

User: Generate concise meta description for this text: OpenAI is one of the most innovative and influential research organizations in the field of artificial intelligence. Founded in 2015 by a group of visionary entrepreneurs and scientists, OpenAI aims to create and promote friendly AI that can benefit humanity as a whole.
