In this lecture, let’s explore some of the basic features of ChatGPT and how the UI works. If you search for ChatGPT on Google, you will find a link introducing ChatGPT. There, you can try ChatGPT if you are already a member and logged in. If you are not a member, you can sign up on the website. Once you have access to ChatGPT, you can use the tool for various tasks.
If you are not a premium member, you will have access to ChatGPT 3.5, which is a good enough bot for critical reasoning. The advantage of ChatGPT 4 over 3.5 is that it is connected to the internet and performs well when internet-related tasks are involved. However, if your task does not require internet access and the data available up to 2021 is sufficient, ChatGPT 3.5 will do a better job.
The UI of ChatGPT has different options. If you are a paid member, you will see options for both ChatGPT 3.5 and 4. Within ChatGPT 4, there are three options: default model, browsing data, and plugins. Plugins are additional tools that you can choose to work with. There are various plugins available, and you can apply for access through the ChatGPT website.
The UI also allows you to switch between different tabs that you have been working with. You can view and manage your previous prompts, change their names, and delete them. The settings section provides options to customize your experience, such as choosing the theme, accessing developer tools, and controlling data.
In the settings, you can also find information about your subscription plan and upgrade to a Plus account if desired. The help and FAQ section is useful for finding answers to common questions. Conversations can be cleared, and you can export your data or delete your account if needed.
Overall, this lecture provides an overview of the basic features of ChatGPT and how to navigate the UI. It explains the differences between ChatGPT 3.5 and 4, the availability of plugins, and the customization options in the settings. By the end of the lecture, you will have a better understanding of how to use ChatGPT effectively for various tasks.
