How to Install and Use the ChatGPT Extension
ChatGPT is a chatbot developed by OpenAI that utilizes the GPT-3 family of large language models. GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) is a neural network-based language generation model that uses unsupervised learning to generate human-like text. It is fine-tuned with both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques to provide a powerful tool for natural language processing tasks.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to add the ChatGPT extension to your browser, allowing you to use the tool on the fly while you work.
