Picture this: nearly 7 billion people worldwide will soon have access to a new friend named ChatGPT right through their phones. It sounds exciting. But here’s a catch: most folks still don’t know how to talk to this new digital companion.
You might have heard quite a bit about artificial intelligence, or AI, in the news. There’s been talk about the need for rules and regulations to ensure these new technologies don’t run amok. Even Sam Altman, the head honcho at the company that makes ChatGPT, has suggested a group to watch over the most advanced AI systems. This kind of caution is essential, but let’s not forget that AI – especially the ones we use today – is a tool, just like a hammer or a sewing machine.

ChatGPT, for instance, is a wonderful tool with a whole heap of potential. It can chat with you just like a human would and help with all sorts of tasks and questions. It might sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s here to help make our lives easier. All we need to do is learn how to ask it for help correctly.
How do you access ChatGPT?
Accessing ChatGPT from your mobile phone is quite simple. Open your browser and head to chat.openai.com. I currently use an iPhone, and all of the following video tutorials will be completed with that iPhone. So if you are using another mobile device brand, your screens may look slightly different than mine.
