A video explaining ChatGPT, an advanced AI-powered chatbot that has taken the world by storm
In 1964, researchers at MIT university were working on a computer program. A program so ahead of its time that it would allow seamless communication between humans and machines.
By 1966, they built ELIZA, an app that would set the foundation for all future chatbots. What made ELIZA so impressive was the introduction of keyword-enabled responses. For the first time, users felt they were talking to someone who understood their input.
By 1995, another language processing bot, A.L.I.C.E, came out and was followed by SmarterChild in 2001, setting the stage for all the current generation chatbots.
However, a decade later, the introduction of AI chatbots like Amazon Alexa, Google Now and Siri took the world by storm.
But in November 2022, an artificial intelligence research firm called OpenAI introduced ChatGPT, an advanced AI-powered chatbot that has taken the world by storm.
Let’s understand what ChatGPT is.

Hermes commissions select artists to turn their storefront into a whimsical canvas, designed to make one stop and stare. Hermès’ new store in Mumbai’s Jio World Plaza luxury mall has its windows decked up by sisters and mosaic artist duo Aashika and Tanishaa Cunha. Over 1,200 hours and 36,000 tiles (a mix of Indian and Italian) across two windows later, the result is an immersive window installation.
