I learned that neural networks are computer systems modeled after the human brain, forming the foundation of machine learning and deep learning by recognizing patterns in data. ChatGPT, while highly advanced, does not truly “understand” or possess consciousness-it generates responses based on statistical patterns from its training data. OpenAI has implemented safety measures, such as filters and warnings, to reduce risks of bias, misinformation, or inappropriate content. Still, ChatGPT has limitations, including limited contextual understanding, sensitivity to input phrasing, occasional biased or inappropriate responses, lack of real-time knowledge, and overconfidence in incorrect answers. Recognizing both its strengths and limitations is key to using it responsibly and effectively.
