Asking ChatGPT to repeat the same letter might break its computer brain – here’s how the glitch might work.
ChatGPT is the most exciting thing happening in tech, and we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface. The generative AI wars have just begun, with OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google at the forefront.
