Today, AI is becoming a part of everyday life in several ways. It has been around for decades in various forms and has been honed and improved with new technology over the years to deliver increasingly better performance. That has led to the development of tools like ChatGPT, a new AI chatbot from OpenAI that is getting a lot of attention and creating a whole new discussion about chatbots and just what they can do for business.

In the world of AI, new developments are on the rise. That includes one of the newest chatbots in town, ChatGPT.
