ChatGPT is a dialogue-based chatbot that understands human language and can generate very human-like texts. Launched on November 30, ChatGPT had over one million users in less than a week. The AI system can write poems, essays, scripts, and translate or summarize texts. ChatGPT could also be used to generate content for websites, answer customer queries, provide recommendations and create automated chatbots. Currently, however, the chatbot lacks nuance, critical-thinking skills or ethical decision-making ability, skillls deemed vital for journalism.
