ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a conversational AI developed by OpenAI, launched in November 2022, and now powered by the GPT‑5 language model. It can understand and respond to text, audio, and image prompts, making it useful for everything from answering questions to writing code, summarizing text, and generating creative content. The system is trained on vast amounts of data and fine‑tuned with human feedback to produce natural, context‑aware dialogue. It has become one of the fastest‑growing apps in history, reaching over 100 million users within two months of release. While praised for its versatility, it has also faced criticism for generating incorrect information, reflecting biases, and raising ethical concerns about AI’s role in work, education, and society.
