How does it do it?

Using Natural Language Processing.
NLP is a subfield of AI that focuses on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language. This involves tasks such as language translation, sentiment analysis, question-answering systems, chatbots, and summarization.

What is ChatGPT?

Chatbot Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is an advanced AI language model developed by OpenAI. It was the first AI tool introduced to the general public, and it remains the most well known chatbot, but now there are many other tools available, including Copilot, Gemini and Adobe Firefly.

• Ask questions related to a project. AI can provide information on a wide range of topics, acting as a useful resource for research projects, essays, or presentations.
• You can ask for explanations, definitions, or additional information on specific subjects to supplement your research.
• Use it as a Brainstorming tool.
• Learn a language or provide translations.

• Clarify Concepts.
• It can help you Develop Critical Thinking when you analyze and evaluate the information provided by AI, comparing it with other sources and discussing its accuracy, relevance, and potential biases.
• Learn more about a personal interest, hobby, or career paths, by asking for information, advice, or resources related to their chosen area of interest.

• AI may sometimes provide incorrect, outdated, or incomplete answers, as it relies on the data it was trained on, which may not always be up-to-date or comprehensive.
  Most chatbots currently combine web search results with their existing data to provide more accurate information, but they may still miss important context or nuances.
• Since all the content is internet based, it may unintentionally generate biased, inappropriate or offensive content.
• You may become overly reliant on ChatGPT for answers and guidance, which could hinder the development of critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills.

• Since it generates text based on existing information, you could inadvertently use content without proper attribution, leading to plagiarism issues.
• It can occasionally fail to grasp the nuances or complexities of a question or topic, leading to irrelevant or confusing responses.
• Lack of Human Touch: Empathy, emotional intelligence and cultural sensitivity may not be included in the generated content.
• Privacy: users' interactions with the AI could be stored or analyzed, potentially exposing personal or sensitive information. Never share personal information with AI.

• Copilot: Microsoft's powered AI. Great for integrating with Office Applications.
  Best when used with Microsoft applications and Edge Browser. Using Copilot with your UM account, protects your data from being used for training AI models. Get more information on how to use your UM account.
