The release of ChatGPT 3.5 in 2021 represented a major advancement in conversational AI. This bot could understand context, maintain coherent exchanges, and generate human-like text on any topic. Many were fooled by its natural language abilities during Turing tests. Its launch has been described as an "AI Sputnik moment" - alerting the public to rapid progress in the field. But ChatGPT 3.5 also has clear limitations, lacking true reasoning, creativity and adaptability. Its impact was demonstrating AI reaching new frontiers in mimicking human language, while reminding us human intelligence remains far more complex.
