ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022. The website had more than one million users after five days.[2] By January 2023, ChatGPT reached over 100 million users.[3] It got attention for its answers in many areas of knowledge but its incorrect accuracy was said to be a major drawback.[4]
ChatGPT used to be completely free for research, but it got so popular that OpenAI started using a freemium model. OpenAI created ChatGPT Plus, a subscription service which costs $20 per month. Users can still use the free version of ChatGPT, but users of ChatGPT Plus can use more features.
ChatGPT can be used to create computer programs called malware. Malware can harm other computers, steal information, or get in to networks without permission. ChatGPT can also make messages that look like they were written by real people which could trick people.
OpenAI warns users that the chatbot may give wrong information or have biased content.
ChatGPT can be used by students to cheat on homework or essays. ChatGPT can generate writing on many different topics, so students could use it to finish assignments without actually doing the work themselves. Preliminary evidence indicates that excessive use of ChatGPT is linked to increased procrastination, memory loss, and poor academic performance among students.[5]
