ChatGPT is probably one of the best known of the class of generative chatbot technologies.
This type of chatbot creates “human-like” response to questions, including relatively complex natural language queries that are not pre-defined and are drawn from a large database.
ChatGPT’s database has around 175 billion parameters, which enable it to generate not only responses to a very large number of different types of queries, but also different responses to the same queries.
In fewer than six months ChatGPT has attracted a great deal of attention from professionals, researchers and educators in the field of further and higher education due to its ability to create realistic and convincing text outputs, such as essays, reports, and even computer programs.
