ChatGPT and you
At the end of 2022, OpenAI released the generative AI- powered chatbot ChatGPT to the public. We immediately put it to the test, using the chatbot to tell stories, write code, and even engage in philosophical conversation, all the while considering its implications in almost every industry. What are its uses in your workplace and your life? We posed this question a while back, and you answered. On today’s episode, Jessi is joined by LinkedIn Technology Editor, Tanya Dua to share listener experiences with AI and break down how ChatGPT is changing the way we work.
