A beginners guide: start using ChatGPT right now.

ChatGPT is a tool we can all use right now. But what is it and what does it mean for society?

I found out about ChatGPT two weeks ago while scrolling through Twitter. People were Tweeting about asking it various questions which sounded interesting. Then, just in the last week there has been a torrent of Tweets and YouTube videos boasting:

“How to become a millionaire using ChatGPT”

“How ChatGPT will change the world”

“ChatGPT is the end of all jobs”

So, I thought I should have a go with this tool and see what all the fuss was about. Launched in November 2022 by OpenAI it has since been valued at $29 billion. It appears the market really values what they are building here!

Using Google Trends, it’s clear that I was a couple of weeks late to this trend. Not bad for me then! The blue line shows searches for ChatGPT (blue line) increase from the first week in December 2022 with a parallel increase in searches for AI (red line). So, all in all, this is a very new tool that the world is only really getting to grips with.
