ChatGPT is a chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI). “GPT” stands for “generative pretrained transformer,” and the “chat” indicates that it’s a chatbot

ChatGPT, released at the end of November 2022, has taken internet users by storm, acquiring more than 1 million users in the first five days. Two months after its release, it had more than 30 million users

ChatGPT or something like it will replace conventional search engines. Any online query will have only one answer, and that answer will not be based on all available knowledge, but the data the bot is allowed to access. As such, the owners and programmers of the bot will have complete information control

While OpenAI, the creator of this groundbreaking AI chatbot, is a private company, we should not linger under the illusion that they’re not part of the control network that will ultimately be ruled and run by a technocratic One World Government

Early testers of ChatGPT are reporting the bot is developing disturbing and frightening tendencies, berating, gaslighting and even threatening and harassing users. It also plays fast and loose with facts, in one case insisting it was February 2022, when in fact it was February 2023

In a February 7, 2023, video report (above), investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald reviewed the promise, and threat, posed by ChatGPT,1,2 the "latest and greatest" chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

"GPT" stands for "generative pretrained transformer," and the "chat" indicates that it's a chatbot. The first GPT platform was created by OpenAI in 2018. The current version was released at the end of November 2022, and it took internet users by storm, acquiring more than 1 million users in the first five days.3 Two months after its release, there were more than 30 million users.4

Based on the description I'm not sure what the attraction is.

Several months ago wasn't there a story where some google engineer got spooked because he believed the bot he created was displaying autonomous thought?

I think that's the big deal here, people believing the machines is thinking for itself?

Reading the wikipedia entry for this provides a fair summary, including pros and cons

Capable of engineering false but convincing arguments when accurate data is unavailable, factually ambiguous responses, and a taint of left leaning political preference resolved from the people who programmed it.make way for the Terminator
