The information given by it is completely correct, it also needs to be rechecked.
How did Chat GPT develop?
Chat GPT is a natural language processing model developed by Open AI. It was first published in a research in 2018. It was created for question answering, language translation and paragraph creation etc. Talking about the founders of Chat GPT, Sam Altman and Elon Musk started it in 2015. Elon Musk had left this project in the initial years itself. After which Microsoft has invested in it and launched it as a prototype on 30 November 2022.

ChatGPT recently got plug-in support
OpenAI recently released plug-in support for its AI chatbot ChatGPT. Previously ChatGPT only had access to the training model it was taught and this information was limited to 2021. After plug-in support, the chatbot will also be able to take help from other websites on the internet to answer questions.
India tops the list
Group-IB, a Singapore-based cyber technology company, claims to have identified more than 1,00,000 theft-infected devices in which ChatGPT credentials were saved. Group-IB’s Threat Intelligence Unit has revealed that countries like India (12,632), Pakistan (9,217), and Brazil (6,531) topped the list where users were affected by cyber-attacks.
Data sold on the dark web
The report states that these stolen credentials were sold on marketplaces, including those in the Asia-Pacific region. Most of the accounts were sold. This revelation has confirmed the scepticism of many tech experts, including Elon Musk, who had demanded regulation of AI platforms like ChatGPT. Recently, the European Union has also introduced an AI Act that seeks regulation of artificial intelligence platforms.
Time magazine said on the AI Act that companies such as ChatGate maker OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google had “lobbied” with EU officials to impose a less stringent AI regulation regime in the AI Act. Globally, companies and individuals are using generative AI platforms like ChatGPT to make themselves more productive. When using an AI platform, people can share some sensitive data with ChatGPT writer and this makes it valuable. Many companies have banned their employees from using ChatGPT, citing similar reasons.
Disadvantages of Chat GPT
It is like a learning model, it can answer only as much as the data fed inside it. Or the data it has been trained on. If there are biases in the trained data, they can also be reflected in the answers to the corresponding questions. That is why it does not have as much understanding as the human brain. If you are using it, then use it only after checking the related content.
