About ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a conversational AI model developed by OpenAI, designed to interact in a natural dialogue format. It can answer follow-up questions, admit mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. Trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and fine-tuned from the GPT-3.5 series, ChatGPT offers a free research preview with multiple pricing tiers (Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise). It supports text and image generation, code assistance, deep research, and is available on web, iOS, and Android. Despite its capabilities, it may produce plausible-sounding but incorrect answers and can become overly cautious, declining questions it could answer correctly.
