What is ChatGPT

 

ChatGPT is a smart computer programme that talks with you, helps you practice English, and gives you tips and information. It’s like having a chat with a friend who knows a lot about English!

BUT there are limitations of ChatGPT which the machine recognises:

Not Perfect: ChatGPT is smart, but it’s not perfect. Sometimes it might not understand you or give the wrong answer.
Limited to Text: It can’t listen to your pronunciation or correct your speaking skills.
