ChatGPT is the most popular AI chatbot on the internet for good reason. Over the last three years, AI has changed the way we interact with the world around us, making it easier to do all kinds of things. Whether you’re planning a trip, trying to save money on groceries or you’re searching for specific information, AI has you covered. While I’m a fan, I also know the limitations of ChatGPT, and you should too, whether you’re a newbie or an expert.
