An AI assistant by OpenAI that answers questions conversationally and may cite external sources.
ChatGPT is based on large language models trained on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available text.
The system is designed to answer questions, provide explanations, generate content, and assist with problem-solving across a wide range of topics. Interaction with ChatGPT is primarily text-based and follows a conversational format, allowing users to ask follow-up questions and refine queries.
The model may include references or citations in certain implementations, particularly when integrated with retrieval systems or search functionality. These references are intended to improve transparency and support factual accuracy.
While ChatGPT is widely used for information retrieval, writing assistance, and educational purposes, its outputs can contain inaccuracies or omissions. As a result, its responses are generally intended to support, rather than replace, expert judgment or authoritative sources.
