ChatGPT. Mastering conversations with artificial intelligence

ChatGPT stands out as a unique application within the Generative AI domain. It is specifically designed for generating and processing text and is primed for conversational interaction. Such tools are broadly termed Large Language Models, or LLMs for short, and they evolve at an astonishing rate. This book primarily delves into ChatGPT LLM and the DALL‑E image generator, both luminaries in the world of Generative AI. ChatGPT was unveiled by OpenAI in November 2022. Made freely available to the public, its reception was overwhelmingly positive, amassing one hundred million users in merely two months. What makes Generative AI so transformative? It is the first technology that allows us to delegate tasks requiring human‑like intelligence. This ushers in an era where machines not only execute predefined actions but also conceive original ideas, making informed decisions and sparking innovations.
