In recent years, there have been various advancements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), and one notable development in the field of natural language processing is ChatGPT, which made its debut on November 30, 2022. Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT has garnered attention as an innovative language model that is essentially available for free. It can generate dialogues based on rich information and context, making it a noteworthy service in the realm of natural language processing.
What’s ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is part of the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) model, having undergone training on a vast amount of text data. This enables it to possess knowledge on various topics and perform natural language generation.
It stands out as a chat service with the distinctive ability to respond to user input based on the provided text, exhibiting human-like capabilities in natural question answering, text generation, and understanding the flow of conversations.
Since its public release in November 2022, ChatGPT has gained attention for its high precision in responses, leading to a rapid increase in user adoption.
Developed by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research and development organization with investments from entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, ChatGPT continues to undergo improvements. In February 2023, ChatGPT-3.5 was released, followed by the release of ChatGPT-4 in March 2023.

How to Start ChatGPT
When using ChatGPT on a PC, there is no need for complex installations.
After registering an account on the official website, you can use it for free by simply inputting questions.
The account creation process is as follows:
- Access the official ChatGPT website below and proceed to the login screen by clicking on “TRY CHATGPT.
- If you don’t have an account, click on “Sign up.” If you already have an account, click on “Log in.” If it’s your first time, proceed from “Sign up.”
- Registration can be done using an email address or Google/Microsoft account. If registering with an email address, a password of at least 8 characters is required. Since phone number input will be needed later, if linking with a Google/Microsoft account, it is recommended to use an account without any issues for registration.
- An email will be sent from OpenAI to the registered address. Access the registration screen from the “Verify email address” link in the email body. Enter your name and phone number, and a short message containing a 6-digit verification code will be sent. Completing the registration involves entering this verification code.
Once your account is created, start by entering your question in the box at the bottom of the screen and send it.
As an example, let’s try a question about famous tourist spots in New York.
The answer to the question has been generated, right! ChatGPT provided information about ten tourist spots! It’s nice that there is not only the names of the tourist spots but also a brief explanation. This makes it easy to get started intuitively with ChatGPT, so please give it a try!
Things ChatGPT Can Do and Is Proficient
- General Question Responses: ChatGPT can answer questions on a wide range of topics, including history, science, technology, entertainment, and more.
- Text Generation: It is also suitable for generating long passages or entire articles. It can create text in various styles, including summarization, explanations, and narrative progression. It is capable of drafting email messages, creating outlines for proposals, and preparing presentation materials.
- Programming (Function, Macro, Code Generation in Python, etc.): It can handle programming-related questions and provide explanations of code, including functions, macros, and Python. However, it cannot execute specific code.
- Everyday Conversation: It is adept at responding to general everyday conversations and inquiries. It can engage in dialogue tailored to emotions and situations.
- Knowledge Questions: It can answer questions related to history, geography, and general facts.
- Text Translation: It is capable of translating text, such as from Japanese to English.
Things ChatGPT Cannot Do and Struggles with
- Acquiring Specific Personal Information: For security reasons, ChatGPT cannot obtain specific personal information or private details about individual users.
- Generation of Executable Code: ChatGPT can generate code, but it cannot execute that code. The generated code should be reviewed and executed manually following secure procedures.
- Provision of Specialized Medical Advice: ChatGPT lacks medical expertise; therefore, it cannot provide accurate advice on specific medical conditions or treatments. Medical inquiries should be directed to healthcare professionals for proper guidance.
- Handling Excessive Malicious Use: ChatGPT may be vulnerable to malicious use in the absence of proper guidance. OpenAI addresses this through terms of use and moderation, but complete elimination can be challenging.
- Answering Questions about Recent Events: Responses are based on the scope of ChatGPT’s training data and do not involve access to the latest information. Therefore, caution should be exercised regarding the reliability of information, especially for the most recent or rapidly changing events. It is recommended to verify information about the latest events from reliable news sources or official channels.
Summary
ChatGPT’s flexibility and advanced language understanding have led to its utilization in various fields. Looking ahead, the emergence of even larger and more advanced models is anticipated, fostering the evolution of interactive AI.
