ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is an artificial intelligence language model designed to understand and generate human-like text. It is widely used for tasks such as drafting emails, creating content, answering questions, and providing conversational assistance. The platform operates on a freemium pricing model, allowing users to access basic features for free, with premium options available for advanced functionalities. Key features include its ability to process natural language inputs, generate coherent text outputs, and learn from a wide range of data sources. ChatGPT is primarily utilized by individuals and businesses seeking to enhance productivity, automate customer service, or engage users through conversational interfaces. It is important to note that as a US-based product, ChatGPT is subject to US data laws, including the CLOUD Act and FISA 702, meaning user data is stored in the United States under US jurisdiction.
