Open AI says it's " eager to collect user feedback to aid our ongoing Work to improve this system".
ChatGPT is the latest in a series of AIs which The Firm refers to as GPTs, an acronym which stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer.
To develop The System , an early version was fine-tuned through conversations with human trainers.
The System also learned from access to Twitter data who is no longer part of OpenAI's board. The Twitter boss wrote That he had paused access " for now".
