What is ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a conversational AI system built on top of the GPT-3.5 project from the OpenAI foundation. It is built to be able to have a natural, free-flowing conversation with us on topics ranging from general knowledge to science to software programming and more.

Why compare it to Google Search

ChatGPT went viral as soon as it was released, and soon was being compared to the one place we were all used to going to, whenever we wanted answers to a question -> Google Search.

Till now, whenever we had a question, we were used to turning to Google Search to find the answer for it, be it for clarifying a regular expression’s functionality, be it answers to questions, or if we simply wanted to find general knowledge-based information.
