What does the GPT in ChatGPT stand for?

Even some regular users of ChatGPT do not know what the acronym stands for. It is telling of how ChatGPT does its "magic". Here is an explanation drawn from an article by Eden Gordon in mentalfloss.com.

"The “G” in GPT stands for “generative.” This term refers to the fact that this AI system actually creates new text and content as opposed to simply analyzing it. Generative AI is a specific type of artificial intelligence that relies on deep learning processes inspired by neural networks in the human brain, and produces new output in response to questions."

"The “P” in GPT stands for “pre-trained.” This refers to the fact that ChatGPT was originally trained on a huge amount of data before it was released to the public. Pre-trained AI models are generally trained on massive amounts of text drawn from gigantic databases like Wikipedia and publicly available sources. After this, pre-trained AI is further refined through human-generated feedback and other refinement processes. This means that the AI can learn much faster than if it was being trained by humans, but it may inherit biases or inaccuracies from the sources it learns from."

"The “T” in GPT stands for “transformer,” which is a type of digital neural network that allows the platform to transform a query into a response. In essence, transformers turn texts into tokens that are converted into vectors. These are then put into a mechanism that weights the importance of each token, prioritizes important information, and helps the AI model determine how to respond—to put it very simply. In general, GPTs are types of large language models (LLMs), which use deep learning and neural networks to learn to communicate from huge amounts of data."
