Start Here: What is ChatGPT?

What is Chatgpt, and why is everyone talking about it? I'll quickly give you a super simplified comparison between using Google and ChatGPT to show you how powerful it is. Let's say we wanted to get the answer to three things about George Washington:

• Did he really have wooden teeth?

• What did he do while he was in Barbados?

• How did he feel when Benedict Arnold betrayed him?
  

Usually, you'd search for these answers on Google by typing in your questions one by one. You may get direct answers, but more often than not, you'll just get a list of websites discussing George Washington. You'd then need to visit each site, read the content, and try to find the answers you're looking for. With ChatGPT, the process is different.

Once on the screen, you'd type something like "Pretend you are George Washington." ChatGPT would respond:, "Hello, I'm George Washington! What would you like to know?" You can then ask your questions one by one, and you'd get answers as if you were having a conversation with him. Since ChatGPT has been trained on the same extensive range of websites as Google, it can swiftly locate the information you seek, providing answers that save you considerable time and effort. You can see the contrast: one method involves searching for information, while the other feels like you're actually interacting with the person in question. No wonder they call it ChatGPT! It's like you're having a chat instead of scouring the internet for information. So again, why are people going crazy about this? You could say, "Pretend you're a Facebook Ad planner," and then ask a bunch of questions to help you plan your ads. Or "Pretend you're an award-winning email marketer," and ask for help crafting an email. The possibilities are endless! I want to emphasize that ChatGPT is a website, just like Google. You don't need

any special knowledge or tools to get started. All you need to do is visit the website and give it a try. To gain a deeper understanding and view some examples before trying it yourself, visit the AI Learning Center.

There, you'll find several videos explaining the technology in greater detail, tailored for complete beginners with no prior knowledge of this innovative technology, ensuring you won't feel overwhelmed.
