ChatGPT

"ChatGPT is a conversational language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture and is trained on a large dataset of conversational text. ChatGPT can generate human-like text in response to a given prompt or question, and can can be used for a variety of natural language processing tasks such as text completion, conversation generation, and language translation." -- ChatGPT

ChatGPT Plugins
Plugins that give ChatGPT new capabilities by allowing it to interact with other computer services. Currently only available for plus subscribers. Of particular note is the Wolfram Plugin, which allows ChatGPT to make calls to Wolfram|Alpha and Mathematica while responding to users' prompts, thus enabling it to answer a wide range of mathematical and scientific questions.

Limitations of generative AI

Limited knowledge of the world: The dataset ChatGPT, for example, is trained on only contains data up to 2021, meaning that it can not generate responses related to current events.
Bias: ChatGPT is trained on large dataset of text, which can lead to inherent biases in the model. This can result in biased or prejudiced responses.
Lack of Common Sense/Emotional Intelligence: May occasionally generate incorrect, nonsensical, or inappropriate responses.
Hallucinations: If the user asks for/about something which doesn't exist or which the LLM doesn't know about, it often "hallucinates" or makes up an answer
