It's a pretty cool language model which you can interact through a back and forth conversation where context is preserved during the chat session; you can ask it to create content, summarize content or produce code in multiple programming languages.

At the moment it's free during a public beta phase, however it's unlikely to remain free forever so check it out before usage is restricted!
It's trained on data scraped from the public internet up until mid/late 2021, so anything that's occurred since then (even new coding standards) won't be in its knowledge base unless explained to it during the chat session,
It would also appear that some UI glitches may be occurring in multiple query chat sessions, I was getting interesting code but the code boxes were getting cut off, so if you've been provided a large amount of generated code/content you should occasionally create a new chat session to keep things fresh.
Since it's just a language model you can converse with, it has no beliefs/opinions/thoughts, so it can't make recommendations or express preferences aside from strictly most factual recommendations. If you run into this issue it'll keep reminding you it's offline, not up to date on training, etc.
Let's try asking it some things relating to Bitshares! Not everyone can access this service due to the mobile number requirement, so let's get to it!
First up, I asked it to compare DEX to CEX, with a bias towards DEX:
I had asked it to compare Bitshares to other blockchains, however it reminded me that complex generic comparisons of blockchain features is outwith its capabilities.
So let's see if it can pretend to be me promoting the features of the Bitshares blockchain!
It seems to have no problem doing so 😅
Now, let's try out some Bitshares blockchain code requests! Starting with getting the latest block!
Interesting, so it has been trained on the bitsharejs documentation and plausibly github repo code, cool! It even explains the code!
Let's get silly with an idea, can it make a new banana smartcoin price feed script?
Looks like it can create a fairly basic implementation of a price feed script, neat!
What about flipping a coin, and if it lands on heads it transfers a dollar to a Bitshares user?
It got everything except the asset type, it chose 1 BTS instead of $1 (Though I like this valuation!)
How about checking if HONEST.USD is currently globally settled? Easy enough
Seeking the best trading rate out and broadcasting the best possible limit order operation for my money?
Almost, it ran out of space and also some of the asset references don't seem correct, however it's certainly almost entirely functional code (aside from being cut off..)
So.. what do you think of ChatGPT? Will you use it? Have you used it? Got any ideas for additional bitshares related examples?
