Developed by the [[AI]] research lab [[OpenAI]], ChatGPT is a [[large language model]] ([[LLM]]) that generates text based on an [[input]] ([[prompt]]) from a user (figure 1). It interacts in a conversational way, answering follow-up questions, admitting to its mistakes, refusing inappropriate requests, and challenging incorrect premises. <ref name="”1”">OpenAI (2022).
