ChatGPT, explained

Demystifying our new robot overlords. Ha, just kidding.

From injecting itself into presidential debates and Saturday Night Live sketches to creepily flirting with talking to you Her-style(well, briefly at least), ChatGPT has captured the public imagination in a way few technologies have. The possibilities are practically endless, from composing essays and writing code to analyzing data, solving math problems, playing games, providing customer support, planning trips, helping you prepare for job interviews, and so much more. The voice capabilities OpenAI demonstrated onstage should arrive over the next couple of weeks for Plus subscribers, while ChatGPT’s desktop app for Mac computers is already rolling out for Plus users.
