JUST over two decades ago, the advent of Google changed how we learnt and discovered the world, with knowledge now available just by typing a question in a search bar. In the past year, there appears to be another game changer: ChatGPT.

This machine learning model can interpret written input and generate new text, based on the large datasets on which its neutral network is trained.

While still evolving, ChatGPT has given the layperson a tool for creative writing, essay writing, prompt writing and code writing. With its user-friendly interface and largely coherent and comprehensive answers, it has made inroads in multiple domains – including the healthcare industry.
