Why ChatGPT is The Next Big Thing

Which one of us remembers talking to chatbots that claimed to be able to talk like humans, but ultimately were BAD. If you are a Gen Z kid like me, you can remember the earlier days of chatbots when they vaguely mimicked human interactions which weren’t quiet as impressive.


Things have come a long way since then. Some of you might have heard about GPT-3, a large language model…. I am just kidding. I am not here to bore you. GPT-3 might have been only known in the nerd community, But it’s latest cousin, GPT-3.5, also known by it’s nickname, ChatGPT, will definitely grab your attention.


Don’t believe me? Check for yourself . Type in anything, any question, and it will surely be able to give you an answer that’s almost indistinguishable from human speech. Maybe try writing below prompts:


  • Write me a conversation between Harry Potter and Donald Trump
  • Why did the chicken cross the road?
  • Write me a blog on..…(jk. I wrote this myself)


The most impressive part? It doesn’t even have access to the internet, so it’s not just searching for answers like google. It’s creating this answers completely from the ground up.


ChatGPT is not only able to give you answers and make conversations. It is also capable of more complex tasks. I needed inspiration to write an application to my institution for forgiving my late fees. I wrote a perfectly written application with the help of ChatGPT, and guess what? IT GOT ACCEPTED.


People are reporting to use ChatGPT to take inspiration for their own writing, generating ideas and much more. Some users also said that ChatGPT is a better therapist to them than any other mental health professionals they have been to. 


I hope you are convinced how amazing this thing actually is. If you still have doubts, don’t be shy! Head on to it’s website and try it out for yourself.


Now onto a little history lesson. ChatGPT is a machine learning model that can create real human-like interactions. It is made by OpenAI, who created much hype in 2021 for their other application, DALL-E 2, but that’s a topic for another time. You can read more about it in this article. (Or just ask ChatGPT about it).



It is built on a method called Natural Language Processing, which processes human language and uses machine learning to create human-like speech. ChatGPT is made with a huge amount of data, and as a result it can create human-speech more accurately.


However it is important to note that ChatGPT is nowhere near the AIs we see in movies. It is not sentient or conscious. It is just really good at processing the enormous amount of datasets it was given.


That doesn’t mean it is any less impressive. Everyone, even the industry giants are stoked by it’s capabilities. Multiple sources have sighted that it can sometimes do tasks even better than humans.


One professor tested this by taking homeworks from his students, then he told ChatGPT to do the same task. He then anonymously slipped ChatGPT’s work. As you can guess, he couldn’t distinguish it. He repeated this test many times and concluded that ChatGPT is capable of writing essays that coincide with the work of bottom 20% of University students. 


This might not sound that impressive, but this is already a huge leap from it’s predecessor. Technology has a habit of improving exponentially. As ChatGPT feeds on more data and user inputs, it will become smarter and smarter until it will be skilled enough to take over humans.



Yes. As scary as it sounds, ChatGPT could easily take over many jobs in the coming years. Helpdesks, receptionists, clerks, article writers, and yes, even bloggers. 


But don’t let this demotivate you. As big a threat ChatGPT might become, it will also be a huge tool. If you have a homework due, you can easily use it to gain inspiration and ideas, just like I did for this blog.


It is very probable that being able to use ChatGPT and it’s subsequent improved models will be a must skill for anyone. That is why you should run over and check it out RIGHT NOW. I assure you that your future self will be thanking you for doing so.

The Magician Leo

 THE MAGICIAN LEO That little boy with magic in his legs started his journey as a random person and emerged from nothing to something. Here's the story of the magician,the "Greatest Of All Times" - Lionel Andrés Messi.  Messi was born in Argentina and brought up to Spain at an early age and so he could choose Spain as his national team,but his immense patriotism pushed him to play for Argentina. In the early days,he was diagnosed with a growth hormone disorder for which there were some extra physical problems that needed costly treatment that his family couldn't afford. From his early childhood,he showed his magic with football and he was always good at it since day 1. At the age of 13,FC Barcelona reached towards him and proposed that,they would pay the financial benefits for his disease if he could play for them. Then 'La Masia' took him in and voila! The rest is all known to us. He earned the most prestigious award of football "Ballon D'or" 4 ...

Pens Pens are something I was always fascinated about. From my young age I collected pens. I don't know why but every time I saw a new pen even if it was a different color, I was simply amazed. Years later, obviously after seeing a lot of pens I've finally been able to put a grip on my amusement and have turned pen collecting a hobby. Pens basically existed for a long time before modern ball point pens people used to write with fountain pens and before that there was ink dips. Ink dips are a lot different than regular fountain pens. These are basically sharp pointy sticks people used to directly dip in ink tanks and then write. But don't think these sticks are just simple sticks. These sticks are made of glass or other hard materials and craftsman delicately crafted tiny passage ways to make the dipped ink flow more evenly. But as you have guessed, these things are a part of Sir Isaac Newton's era and poor people couldn't afford them, then what did the poor people u...
