Everyone is talking about ChatGPT, so I had to give it a try. Let’s see what it’s capable of.

What’s ChatGPT? Let’s ask ChatGPT what it is..

It says it’s a variant of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer language model that is fine-tuned for chatbot-style communication.

It’s part of OpenAI and the GPT-3 family.

It goes on to explain what GPT-3 is.

ChatGPT is specifically for conversations and can be used in chat-bots.

And it uses context-aware responses taking into account previous exchanges in conversation.

What can ChatGPT help us to do? Here are some examples:
– Explain quantum computing in simple terms.
– Write a short story.
– Ask it questions like: How do I make an HTTP request in JavaScript?
– Build an entire application in any programming language!!

Tools I use:

codeSTACKr VS Code Theme: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/…

SuperHero Extension Pack: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/…
