Not too long ago, chatbots were seen as fun additions to customer service.
They have evolved significantly with advancements in AI, machine learning, and natural language processing.
A recent report suggests that the chatbot market is set for substantial growth in the next decade.
This makes the chatbot industry one of the most lucrative sectors in today's economy.
Now, let's look at the growth of OpenAI's ChatGPT, the intelligent chatbot that debuted in November 2022 and managed to reach 1 million users in just five days.
This is notably faster compared to the growth of other platforms.
Chatbots work with a special kind of AI called a large language model.
This LLM uses deep learning, which tries to mimic how the human brain works.
Essentially, it learns a ton of information to handle different language tasks.
OpenAI's GPT LLM, version 3.5, has learned from a massive 300 billion words.
When you talk to a chatbot using plain English, you do not need to know any fancy code.
This chatbot can then do lots of things like generating text, images, video, and audio.
Chatbots, powered by Natural Language Processing, can be used in various industries like healthcare, education, retail, and tourism.
As more people use platforms like Zoom for education, chatbots can bring AI-enabled learning to students worldwide.
Some hair salons use chatbots to book appointments, and they are handy for scheduling airport shuttles and rental cars too.
In healthcare, virtual assistants have huge potential.
In rural areas, chatbots are helping connect patients with doctors through online consultations, making healthcare more accessible.
These are folks who know how to have a good chat with chatbots by asking questions in a way that gets the answers they want.
Surprisingly, prompt engineers do not have to be tech whizzes; they just need strong problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills.
In 2023, job listings for prompt engineers were offering salaries of $300,000 or even more.
