Inroduction
ChatGPT or more generally speaking OpenAI is an incredible tool. It is a spectacular instrument helping people in many different fields, it helps people to summarize text, to produce poem, to build images and music, to answer to difficult questions and to automatize complex processes. So I decided to dedicate an entire blog-post to OpenAI. Everything in this post except the introduction section has been made (written and painted) with OpenAI (chatGPT and DALLE). The results are impressive !
ChatGPT-V3 (the one adopted here) is trained up to 2021, so you will not find anything regarding the current conflict Russia-Ukraine which actually change a “Giga” of sheets.
Have fun !
