The text-generating model stands out from its cohorts for its mostly accurate and helpful responses and it can even reject inappropriate prompts, but one expert says the chatbot's impressive feats are still not up to par with human capabilities.
We've all had some kind of interaction with a chatbot. It's usually a little pop-up in the corner of a website, offering customer support - often clunky to navigate - and almost always frustratingly non-specific.
