ChatGPT is an AI bot that can generate natural-language text that has been trained using a vast dataset of written sources. ChatGPT uses this data to spot patterns and relationships between words and sentences. That’s how it’s able to sound human. But ChatGPT’s output is generated statistically as it uses whatever words and sentences are most likely to be correct based on an analysis of its vast dataset. In other words, it’s a highly complex autocorrect machine, and statistically likely sentences are not the same as verifiable truths. But because ChatGPT can sound like a journalist or a researcher, it’s easy to assume, mistakenly, that its output is just as rigorous. Watch the video to learn more.
