Full Transcript

ChatGPT works by receiving what you type, understanding it using its AI model, then creating a response based on what it learned. It sends this response back to you. This process repeats as you continue chatting. For example, if you ask about the weather, ChatGPT explains it cannot check live data but suggests alternatives. If you ask for a joke, it picks one from its knowledge and shares it. After replying, ChatGPT waits for your next message to keep the conversation going.
