How to use ChatGPT to summarize a book, article, or research paper

jada-jones

AI chatbots like ChatGPT can be used to make summarizing long articles, research papers, and books an easier job. If you're tasked with writing a summary for school or work about a body of written text, and you're pinched for time, ChatGPT can help you understand the necessary components.

You should remember that ChatGPT is a tool that can help you further understand a topic, and it may not be in your best interest to have it write your work for you.

Also:   How to make ChatGPT provide sources and citations

If you're a student writing a research paper, someone who is keen to discover more about a lengthy article, or someone who wants to dive into a complicated subject, you can use ChatGPT to simplify the process.

How ChatGPT can create summaries for you

Materials needed : You'll need a device that can connect to the internet, an OpenAI account , and a basic understanding of the article, research paper, or book you want to summarize. 

Also:  This AI chatbot can sum up any PDF and answer any question you have about it

The process should take about one to three minutes.

1. Find your article, paper, or book to summarize

If you need ChatGPT to help summarize an article or research paper, find the body of text online and keep it open in a separate tab.

2. Open your web browser and log in to OpenAI

Open your web browser of choice and type in chat.openai.com/chat .

Log in or sign up for an account. 

3. Type your request

In the chat box, type in TLDR: followed by the title of the book you want summarized. TLDR stands for too long, didn't read. 

Also: How to use ChatGPT: Everything you need to know

You can also ask ChatGPT: "Summarize [book title]." 

You cannot paste a URL into ChatGPT. If you do so, you'll get a response explaining that the chatbot cannot access websites. If you want ChatGPT to summarize research, you'll need a basic understanding of the topic to ensure you aren't including inaccurate information in your report.

For example, if you're writing a paper about how twin sibling dynamics affect their marriages, you can ask ChatGPT: "Explain how twin relationships affect their marriages."

Also:   The best AI chatbots: ChatGPT and other noteworthy alternatives 

ChatGPT will offer you a few bullet points of both positive and negative effects a twin bond can have on the twins' marriages. You'll still need to read key points of the research, as ChatGPT won't provide you with specific statistics or scientific conclusions. But ChatGPT can help you understand the context surrounding the research you're interested in.

If you're having trouble comprehending specific passages in an article, book, or research paper, you can copy parts of the text and paste them into ChatGPT.

Think of this method as reshuffling the words you're currently reading to help you make more sense of the text in front of you.

This is an accurate summary of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay'.

What are ChatGPT's limitations?

If you're using ChatGPT to summarize an article, book, or piece of research, keep in mind that ChatGPT isn't aware of events that occurred after September 2021. 

Also:   4 things Claude AI can do that ChatGPT can't

ChatGPT is a large language model that uses queues and millions of data points to mimic human responses. This form of mimicry is why ChatGPT will answer questions even when it doesn't output the correct answer. So, make sure you're not using any information from ChatGPT without fact-checking it.

If you try to get around this obstacle and provide ChatGPT with an article that contains information post-2021, it might hallucinate. Here, I asked the chatbot to summarize an article about a new app I wrote about , and it made up a few details. 

Lemon8 is a new app from TikTok's parent company, ByteDance. Although the TikTok trend may exist, that's not what the article is about.

Can ChatGPT summarize a PDF?

Copying and pasting a URL into ChatGPT won't yield you the best results. If there is a specific paragraph or sentence you're struggling with, you can copy and paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to explain it to you. Still, it's best to read the PDF and use the chatbot as a summary tool and not as an educator. 

Also:  How to use ChatGPT to write code

If you're looking for an AI chatbot that you can regularly rely on to give you an accurate summary of a PDF, consider using ChatPDF . You can summarize up to three PDFs of up to 120 pages per day, and an upgraded plan is available for $5 per month.

Can ChatGPT summarize an email thread?

Sort of. If you want to copy and paste every single email, ChatGPT can summarize the thread's contents for you. It would be more helpful to scan an email thread yourself and ask ChatGPT to help you write a response based on the key points you know about the conversation. 

Editor's note: We've added additional context to the step concerning ChatGPT summarizing articles by URL.

Som s. biswas.

Department of Pediatric Radiology, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN.

Introduction

This commentary provides a concise step-by-step guide on using ChatGPT, an advanced natural language processing (NLP) model, for research and publication purposes. The guide assesses crucial aspects, including data preprocessing, fine-tuning techniques, prompt engineering, and ethical considerations. By addressing challenges related to biases, interpretability, and plagiarism, this commentary offers insights and recommendations for the responsible and ethical use of ChatGPT. The guide empowers researchers to ethically integrate ChatGPT effectively into their workflows, enhancing productivity and improving the quality of their scientific publications. Through clear instructions and guidelines, researchers can tap into the transformative potential of ChatGPT, driving scientific progress in a language-driven world.

In recent years, the field of NLP has witnessed remarkable advancements, bringing us closer to the realm of humanlike language generation. Among these advancements, ChatGPT, based on the groundbreaking GPT-3.5 architecture developed by OpenAI, stands as an impressive language model capable of generating coherent and contextually relevant text responses. With its ability to understand and respond to user inputs, ChatGPT has opened up new possibilities for various applications, including research and publication. 1 – 3

The traditional process of conducting research and publishing scientific papers has been significantly transformed by the emergence of ChatGPT. Researchers and authors can now leverage the power of this sophisticated language model to streamline and enhance their workflow, leading to improved efficiency and higher-quality publications. However, using ChatGPT effectively in the research and publication domain requires a comprehensive understanding of its capabilities, limitations, and best practices.

In this commentary I offer my thoughts for a step-by-step guide for researchers and authors who seek to harness the potential of ChatGPT in their research endeavors and publication efforts. By exploring various aspects, such as data preprocessing, fine-tuning techniques, prompt engineering, and ethical considerations, this guide will equip researchers with the necessary knowledge to harness the full potential of ChatGPT in their scientific pursuits. Moreover, this commentary will delve into the challenges associated with using ChatGPT for research and publication, including biases, interpretability, and concerns regarding plagiarism. By addressing these challenges directly, I aim to provide researchers with valuable insights and recommendations to navigate these important issues and ensure the responsible and ethical use of ChatGPT as a research tool. 4

The significance of my guide lies in its potential to bridge the gap between the rapid progress of language models like ChatGPT and the research and publication process. By elucidating the intricacies of integrating ChatGPT into scientific workflows, researchers will be empowered to leverage this advanced technology effectively, thereby enhancing the overall quality and impact of their research output. 5 In the following sections, I present a comprehensive overview of the steps involved in using ChatGPT for research and publication.

Step 1: Title and Title Page Creation by ChatGPT

ChatGPT can be a valuable tool in generating titles for research papers. Its ability to understand and generate humanlike text allows it to analyze and synthesize information provided by researchers to craft concise and impactful titles. By leveraging its vast knowledge base and language capabilities, ChatGPT can assist in capturing the essence of a research paper, conveying the main focus and contributions succinctly. Researchers can collaborate with ChatGPT by providing relevant information, such as the subject, objectives, methodology, and key findings of their study. ChatGPT can then generate multiple title options, offering different perspectives and angles that researchers can consider. This collaboration with ChatGPT can save time and stimulate creativity, helping researchers refine their titles to accurately represent their work and engage potential readers. ChatGPT can then be used to create the entire title page and then can also customize based on each journal’s recommendations.

For example:

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f01.jpg

Thus, we see that ChatGPT can write an entire title page based on just the title and author details. We notice that ChatGPT has created an email address that is incorrect and needs manual rectification. However, the rest of the title page, including keywords and the running title, is appropriate.

Step 2: Abstract/Summary Creation by chatGPT

ChatGPT can assist in condensing complex information into a clear and engaging abstract/summary, helping researchers communicate the significance and novelty of their research to a wider audience. By leveraging the language proficiency of ChatGPT, researchers can save time and effort in crafting abstracts while ensuring that the key aspects of their study are accurately represented.

In this example, we demonstrate that ChatGPT can create an entire abstract just by using the title alone. However, the more information researchers provide (preferably the entire body of the paper should be entered into chatGPT), the more accurate the abstract becomes.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f02.jpg

Step 3: Introduction Creation by ChatGPT

By collaborating with ChatGPT, researchers can provide key information, such as the background, significance, and objectives of their study. ChatGPT can then generate a well-structured introduction that sets the context, highlights the relevance of the research, and outlines the paper’s objectives. Also, ChatGPT can be used to generate keywords and generate an abbreviations list from the article by using prompts. However, it is important to note that the generated introduction should be reviewed, customized, and refined by the researchers to align with their specific study and writing style.

In the example below, we note that ChatGPT has not only created an introduction but also the objectives of the study, which can then be edited by the human author.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f03.jpg

Step 4: Can ChatGPT Create a Literature Review?

Yes, ChatGPT can help generate a literature review, but it is important to note that it may not have access to the most up-to-date research articles and studies due to copyrights and limited access to some journals. Additionally, a literature review typically requires a comprehensive analysis of multiple sources, so the generated response may not cover all relevant studies. Nonetheless, it can assist in providing a basic literature review on a given topic, which will need human authors to add to and edit it.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f04.jpg

As we can see, ChatGPT is not as good at giving a detailed review of the literature as it is at summarizing contents or creating an introduction. Thus, its use is limited, if there is any at all, in this section of the paper.

Step 5: Can ChatGPT Assist in Brainstorming the Methodology of Studies?

ChatGPT can be a helpful tool in conceptualizing the methodology for research papers. By engaging in a conversation with ChatGPT, researchers can discuss their research objectives, study design, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques. ChatGPT’s natural language understanding allows it to provide suggestions and insights based on its knowledge base and understanding of research methodologies. Although ChatGPT can assist in generating ideas and providing guidance, it is important for researchers to critically evaluate and adapt the suggestions to align with their specific research goals and requirements.

Although the methodology is something that is unique to each paper and needs a human researcher to conceptualize it, we see in this example that ChatGPT can assist by giving ideas and examples based on the input of the title by the human researcher. Thus, ChatGPT can be part of brainstorming sessions when conceptualizing a study, although this section needs significant editing by a human, unlike the introduction or summary.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f05.jpg

Step 6: Do Not Use ChatGPT for Fabricating Patient Data or Results!

This section of the paper must be authentic, and ChatGPT has a limited role, if any, because patient data have to be original. ChatGPT also currently cannot analyze clinical data compared with statistical software, like SPSS Statistics and Base SAS. However, Microsoft appears to be developing an Excel copilot that uses AI to create graphs and plots, and its use needs to be evaluated once it is released to the public. 6

Step 7: Discussion and Conclusions

This section of the paper can be generated by ChatGPT if all results are pasted as input; however, this section also needs manual editing because inaccuracies are common. By discussing their research with ChatGPT, researchers can also identify potential limitations, discuss the broader implications of their findings, and propose future research directions. Although ChatGPT can generate suggestions and facilitate the thought process, it is important for researchers to critically evaluate the information provided and ensure that the Discussion and Conclusion sections align with the specific research objectives and findings of their study. Ultimately, ChatGPT can serve as a supportive tool in developing a comprehensive and well-rounded discussion and conclusion for research papers.

Step 8: References

As per the author's experience, although ChatGPT is capable of creating references for an article, most of them are incorrect. So, using ChatGPT for creating references is not recommended. However, ChatGPT can convert references into any journaling style if the references are entered into ChatGPT and it is asked to convert them into a specific style.

Disadvantages of Using ChatGPT in Research

Although ChatGPT offers numerous advantages for assisting in the writing of research papers, there are also some important potential disadvantages to consider:

  • Lack of domain expertise: ChatGPT is a general-purpose language model trained on a diverse range of Internet text, which means it may lack the specific domain expertise required for certain research topics. It may generate responses that are not accurate or well informed in specialized fields, potentially leading to incorrect or misleading information in research papers.
  • Inconsistency and variability: ChatGPT’s responses can be inconsistent and vary depending on the input phrasing or prompt formulation. This can lead to unpredictability in generating reliable and coherent content, requiring additional effort to refine and ensure accuracy in research papers.
  • Limited control over output: Although researchers can guide the model’s responses through prompts, ChatGPT’s generation process is still primarily autonomous. Researchers have limited control over the precise content and structure of the generated text, which may require careful editing and review to align with specific research goals, standards, and above all, accuracy.
  • Biases and ethical considerations: Language models like ChatGPT can inadvertently reflect biases present in the training data. These biases may perpetuate existing societal or cultural biases in research papers, potentially leading to unfair or discriminatory content. The careful examination and mitigation of biases are crucial to ensure ethical and unbiased research output. 7
  • Lack of interpretability: ChatGPT’s decision-making process is complex and not easily interpretable. Researchers may struggle to understand the reasoning behind the model’s generated responses, making it challenging to assess the reliability and credibility of the information provided. Ensuring transparency and interpretability in research papers becomes more challenging with such models. ChatGPT should cite the sources for its data, like Google Bard does.
  • Plagiarism concerns: Because of its vast training data from the Internet, ChatGPT may inadvertently generate text that resembles or replicates existing content without proper citation or attribution. Researchers must be cautious about unintentional plagiarism and ensure that generated content is appropriately referenced and original. So, all ChatGPt-generated articles need to be double checked using antiplagiarism software.

In this commentary I have provided a comprehensive step-by-step guide for researchers and authors on harnessing the power of ChatGPT in the realm of research and publication. By exploring crucial aspects, such as data preprocessing, fine-tuning techniques, prompt engineering, and ethical considerations, the guide equips researchers with the necessary knowledge and tools to effectively integrate ChatGPT into their scientific workflows. 8

Through clear instructions, examples, and guidelines, researchers can navigate the complexities of using ChatGPT, leading to enhanced productivity and improved quality in their research output. Moreover, I address the challenges associated with biases, interpretability, and plagiarism concerns, ensuring the responsible and ethical usage of ChatGPT as a research tool.

The significance of this research lies in its ability to bridge the gap between the rapid advancements in language models like ChatGPT and the research and publication process. By empowering researchers with the skills to leverage ChatGPT effectively, this guide fosters innovation, drives scientific progress, and opens up new possibilities for transformative contributions to various fields. 9

As language-driven technologies continue to evolve, researchers must stay abreast of the latest advancements and best practices. The step-by-step guide presented in this commentary serves as a valuable resource, providing researchers with the knowledge and guidance necessary to maximize the potential of ChatGPT in their research endeavors. By embracing the capabilities of ChatGPT and ensuring its responsible and ethical use, researchers can revolutionize the way research and publications are conducted. With ChatGPT as a powerful tool in their arsenal, researchers are poised to make significant strides in their respective fields, pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and ushering in a new era of language-driven innovation. 10

However, and to reiterate, I cannot overemphasize that ChatGPT has, at present, many disadvantages, including inconsistencies, bias, and plagiarism concerns, that must be addressed by the human author before the article is submitted for publication to a journal, as well as prior to publication, because the human author(s) is solely responsible for their research integrity and accurate reporting.

In conclusion, I have attempted to provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively leverage ChatGPT for research and publication purposes. It has also highlighted the problems and precautions that the human author(s) must take before publishing ChatGPT-generated content. By embracing this step-by-step guide, researchers can unlock the full potential of ChatGPT, driving scientific progress and shaping the future of research and publications.

  • Please use ChatGPT only if allowed by your institution, research lab, and the journal in question.
  • Please acknowledge ChatGPT within your manuscript/published paper wherever you are using it.
  • Please do not fabricate or plagiarize data. ChatGPT can be used only for summarizing texts, improving English writeups, and brainstorming ideas, and not for creating fabricated research raw data.

How to use ChatGPT to summarize an article

Hero image of the OpenAI app logo on a light purple background.

If you're looking to use ChatGPT to summarize an article, book, or research paper, here's how. 

Table of contents:

Here's the short version of how to use ChatGPT to summarize any text (but keep reading for a deeper dive): 

Find a digital article to summarize and copy the URL.

Paste the URL of the source material in the message box, and ask ChatGPT to summarize the contents of the link.

Note: While the multimodal AI model GPT-4o will eventually replace GPT-3.5, it's currently still rolling out to all users. If you're using GPT-3.5, you'll need to copy and paste your digital source material in the message box.

Now for the details.

Find an article to summarize

Find the body of text you want ChatGPT to summarize, and keep it open in a separate tab. You'll need this later. 

Log in to OpenAI 

ChatGPT homepage with options to sign up or log in in the side panel.

Ask ChatGPT to summarize an article 

ChatGPT can't directly browse the internet (unless you're a paid subscriber), so you'll need to feed it with the raw material it needs before asking it to generate a summary. 

Copy the relevant text of your digital source material. 

Paste the text in the message bar of ChatGPT's home page, add " Summarize the article above " to the end of your query, and hit Enter . 

The message box in ChatGPT with a portion of text from an article to be summarized followed by a text prompt that reads, "Summarize the article above."

If you're using GPT-4 or GPT-4o, there's no need for the copy-and-paste step. Instead, paste the URL of your source material into the message bar and ask ChatGPT to summarize it. 

If you're not satisfied with the response, you can click Regenerate response to get a ChatGPT to try again. Or you can modify your prompt. 

How to write an effective ChatGPT article summary prompt

1. tell it how long the response should be .

To ensure the summary is short and sweet, add a character limit or a range of acceptable lengths to your prompt. For example,  "The summary should be 125 characters max" (this is equivalent to roughly a half page of text, double-spaced, using 12-point font) or "Write a 150–300-word summary of this article." 

The message box in ChatGPT with a portion of text from an article to be summarized followed by a text prompt that reads, "Summarize the article above. The summary should be 125 characters max.

Sometimes, it's helpful to include the desired length of ChatGPT's response in your initial prompt. Other times, it's not. (Remember how I said ChatGPT's ability to summarize text is hit or miss?) Here's an example from the first time I asked it to summarize the final episode of The Good Place using a maximum of 125 characters. 

Portion of a conversation in ChatGPT. The text prompt reads "Summarize the article above. The summary should be 125 characters max." ChatGPT's response is one-sentence long and extremely vague.

Technically, ChatGPT did exactly what I asked it to do—but it took "summarize" to the extreme. In this case, I modified the prompt and removed the character limit, which gave me a slightly better response. (But there aren't nearly enough specifics for my liking.) 

Detailed text summary from ChatGPT to the prompt "Summarize the article above."

At the end of the day, you'll have to play around with what details work for each prompt. 

2. Specify what to include in your article summary

A clear prompt with sufficient detail is key to getting the response you want from ChatGPT. 

Let's say I want to know what happens to each main character in the series finale of The Good Place. For that, I'd prompt ChatGPT with, "Try again, but tell me what happens to each main character."

Response from ChatGPT that gives a detailed summary of what happened to each of the main characters in the season finale of the TV show The Good Place.

Now that's the kind of spoiler summary I'm looking for. 

Limitations of summarizing articles with ChatGPT 

ChatGPT is still fairly new, so there are a couple of things you should keep in mind when using it to summarize articles. 

Oversimplification. Since ChatGPT lacks critical-thinking skills, it has a tendency to strip away important details and subtle nuances presented in the source material, leaving you with a less-than-complete understanding. For something trivial like getting summaries of spoilers for pure entertainment, this isn't a huge concern. But if you're using ChatGPT to summarize an article that you'll reference in, say, a college dissertation, I strongly recommend reading the article in its entirety so you don't miss out on crucial details or nuance.

How to use ChatGPT to summarize an article: FAQs 

OpenAI is constantly updating existing features and adding new functionality, so it's understandable if you're confused about what ChatGPT can and can't do. Here are answers to the most common questions about how to summarize with ChatGPT.

Can ChatGPT summarize a pdf?

ChatGPT can summarize a PDF and answer questions about the PDF, but this feature is available only to ChatGPT Plus subscribers. 

It's worth noting, though, that in my experience, the quality of ChatGPT's responses varies depending on the length, complexity, and formatting of the file. For example, when I asked ChatGPT to summarize a PDF that contained headings, it generated a formatted list of key talking points along with a one-sentence summary of each point. When I asked ChatGPT to summarize a PDF with the same content, but no headings, it generated only a vague, one-paragraph summary. 

Can ChatGPT summarize videos?

With the introduction of the new multimodal AI model, GPT-4o, this answer may change—but it's too new to say for certain.

Can ChatGPT summarize a website?

Yes, but there are limitations. If you ask ChatGPT to summarize a website containing content that requires a subscription—for example, an article from the New York Times —ChatGPT won't be able to summarize it. This feature is also available only to paid users.

In terms of tone, the conclusion maintains an objective and informative tone, which is appropriate for an academic essay. However, there is an opportunity to inject more enthusiasm or a sense of significance into the concluding statements to leave a lasting impact on the reader. In terms of clarity, the conclusion effectively restates the main arguments made in the essay and provides a clear summary of the roles of popular magazines in shaping national identity and consumer culture.

In terms of coherence of structure, the conclusion maintains a logical flow and effectively ties together the main points discussed in the essay. It begins by restating the main theme and thesis, then proceeds to recap the key arguments and their significance. However, it may be beneficial to introduce more transitional phrases or sentences to enhance the overall flow and cohesion.

No, it’s not a good idea to do so in general—first, because it’s normally considered plagiarism or academic dishonesty to represent someone else’s work as your own (even if that “someone” is an AI language model). Even if you cite ChatGPT , you’ll still be penalized unless this is specifically allowed by your university . Institutions may use AI detectors to enforce these rules.

Second, ChatGPT can recombine existing texts, but it cannot really generate new knowledge. And it lacks specialist knowledge of academic topics. Therefore, it is not possible to obtain original research results, and the text produced may contain factual errors.

However, you can usually still use ChatGPT for assignments in other ways, as a source of inspiration and feedback.

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.

Programmers have spent decades writing code for AI models , and now, in a full circle moment, AI is being used to write code. But how does an AI code generator compare to a human programmer?

A study published in the June issue of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering evaluated the code produced by OpenAI’s ChatGPT in terms of functionality, complexity and security. The results show that ChatGPT has an extremely broad range of success when it comes to producing functional code—with a success rate ranging from anywhere as poor as 0.66 percent and as good as 89 percent—depending on the difficulty of the task, the programming language, and a number of other factors.

While in some cases the AI generator could produce better code than humans, the analysis also reveals some security concerns with AI-generated code.

Yutian Tang is a lecturer at the University of Glasgow who was involved in the study. He notes that AI-based code generation could provide some advantages in terms of enhancing productivity and automating software development tasks—but it’s important to understand the strengths and limitations of these models.

“By conducting a comprehensive analysis, we can uncover potential issues and limitations that arise in the ChatGPT-based code generation... [and] improve generation techniques,” Tang explains.

To explore these limitations in more detail, his team sought to test GPT-3.5’s ability to address 728 coding problems from the LeetCode testing platform in five programming languages: C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python .

“A reasonable hypothesis for why ChatGPT can do better with algorithm problems before 2021 is that these problems are frequently seen in the training dataset.” —Yutian Tang, University of Glasgow

Overall, ChatGPT was fairly good at solving problems in the different coding languages—but especially when attempting to solve coding problems that existed on LeetCode before 2021. For instance, it was able to produce functional code for easy, medium, and hard problems with success rates of about 89, 71, and 40 percent, respectively.

“However, when it comes to the algorithm problems after 2021, ChatGPT’s ability to generate functionally correct code is affected. It sometimes fails to understand the meaning of questions, even for easy level problems,” Tang notes.

For example, ChatGPT’s ability to produce functional code for “easy” coding problems dropped from 89 percent to 52 percent after 2021. And its ability to generate functional code for “hard” problems dropped from 40 percent to 0.66 percent after this time as well.

“A reasonable hypothesis for why ChatGPT can do better with algorithm problems before 2021 is that these problems are frequently seen in the training dataset,” Tang says.

Essentially, as coding evolves, ChatGPT has not been exposed yet to new problems and solutions. It lacks the critical thinking skills of a human and can only address problems it has previously encountered. This could explain why it is so much better at addressing older coding problems than newer ones.

“ChatGPT may generate incorrect code because it does not understand the meaning of algorithm problems.” —Yutian Tang, University of Glasgow

Interestingly, ChatGPT is able to generate code with smaller runtime and memory overheads than at least 50 percent of human solutions to the same LeetCode problems.

The researchers also explored the ability of ChatGPT to fix its own coding errors after receiving feedback from LeetCode. They randomly selected 50 coding scenarios where ChatGPT initially generated incorrect coding, either because it didn’t understand the content or problem at hand.

While ChatGPT was good at fixing compiling errors, it generally was not good at correcting its own mistakes.

“ChatGPT may generate incorrect code because it does not understand the meaning of algorithm problems, thus, this simple error feedback information is not enough,” Tang explains.

The researchers also found that ChatGPT-generated code did have a fair amount of vulnerabilities, such as a missing null test, but many of these were easily fixable. Their results also show that generated code in C was the most complex, followed by C++ and Python, which has a similar complexity to the human-written code.

Tangs says, based on these results, it’s important that developers using ChatGPT provide additional information to help ChatGPT better understand problems or avoid vulnerabilities.

“For example, when encountering more complex programming problems, developers can provide relevant knowledge as much as possible, and tell ChatGPT in the prompt which potential vulnerabilities to be aware of,” Tang says.

Best AI chatbot for non-tech-savvy business owners

ChatGPT

Starting monthly price

Free version, usage limit.

  • Easy to use for basic tasks and customizable to certain extents.
  • All plans offer voice function as standard as well as access to the most advanced model.
  • Useful data entry and categorization features for small businesses.
  • Usage limits on all but Enterprise plan, which might be difficult for business owners on a budget.
  • Does not always provide accurate information.
  • Poor customer support options for busy small businesses.

When OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, it felt as though the entire landscape of the internet and possibly even modern technology had yet again made a significant leap forward. ChatGPT has become popular with millions of diverse users, offering creativity and content generation as well as data analysis and custom-built GPTs.

But it does come with limitations for small businesses, some specific to ChatGPT and others just facts of life when it comes to present-day artificial intelligence. We’ve put it to the test to give you our ChatGPT review, including first-hand experience with ChatGPT’s most advanced 4o model.

ChatGPT overview

ChatGPT is a chatbot that is built on a large language model (LLM) and is designed to talk to users like a human. It can hold conversations, recall and provide information and analyze voice, images and data. For businesses, when it comes to performing simple tasks like generating basic content or improving productivity, it can be a useful, powerful and time-saving tool.

A small business owner can use it to create content calendars, social media posts or travel itineraries and, on paid plans, generate images and interactive tables and charts.

However, while it might be the pioneer in AI chatbots, it does have its drawbacks. Its knowledge cut-off point — the most recent data it is trained on — was October 2023 at the time of this review. However, users report this changing frequently. While advanced models can browse the web and cite sources, sometimes they can offer inaccurate information. The chatbot can also struggle with complex tasks involving ethics, ambiguity and specialized knowledge.

ChatGPT pros and cons

If you’re an SMB looking to use ChatGPT as a convenient and customizable personal assistant for basic tasks, like boosting productivity or creativity, it’s a great tool — particularly if it doesn’t require specific factual information.

It offers efficiency and scalability and is able to handle simultaneous queries, reducing the workload for human staff. Its voice and vision features make it accessible to a wide range of users.

You can even push it to more advanced tasks like data analysis, browsing the web in real-time and uploading files for analysis and feedback. 

chat gpt research paper summary

While it might take a bit of practice, trial and error will create the right prompts for what you need. You can also provide custom instructions across all chats and create your own “GPTs” to serve specific purposes. This can help your small business if there are specific tasks you need help with.

ChatGPT, like any machine pretending to be a human, does have noticeable flaws. Some of these are problems common to most AI chat models, especially when we’re still so early on in its technology. Most significantly, ChatGPT can sometimes provide inaccurate information, a fact acknowledged by OpenAI itself, so you won’t be able to solely rely on it for factual knowledge. You don’t want to put your business at risk due to misinformation.

With OpenAI’s ChatGPT product, all but the Enterprise plans have limits on usage. The most recent information available shows that Plus users are limited to 80 messengers every three hours on ChatGPT-4o and 40 on GPT-4. This might be an issue for small business owners who rely on ChatGPT to create social media posts or help with other types of content.

Additionally, there are limits on model quality for all, except on the Enterprise plan, and the free plan only has limited access to features like browsing, data and vision. Finally, only Enterprise users will have access to advanced customer service features, while other users have complained of poor overall support.

ChatGPT pricing and value

FREEPLUSTEAMENTERPRISE

ChatGPT’s free plan is a good introduction to what the chatbot offers, and while it’s fairly limited compared to paid plans, it’s useful for quick and basic tasks. However, the prospect of image generation and the ability to create GPTs might tempt business owners toward upgrading once the constraints of the free version become apparent. The frustration of hitting your message cap can be reminiscent of the Wi-Fi going down. And, if your business is relying on it, interruptions can cost time and money.

At $20 per month, we think it can be a worthwhile investment for individuals or small teams. Other improvements to web browsing, data analysis and vision are game changers for productivity. If it proves to be a positive investment, particularly as a tester for small teams, then upgrading to the Team plan gives you a dedicated workspace, analytics and management for GPTs and bulk member management for $30 per user per month. 

Custom pricing is available for those who want to unlock ChatGPT’s full potential, but it’s worth considering alternatives before you do. Anthropic’s Claude offers a similar pricing structure, with a free plan, a base plan of $20 per user and a Team plan of $30 per user per month, but its free version is a little more advanced with image and document processing, and it offers a far bigger context window of 200K.

Microsoft also offers its Copilot chatbot as a free version and a $20 per user per month paid version, with useful integrations into its Office platform — its chatbot itself is built on OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 model. It also offers a more business-oriented solution in its Azure Bot Service, allowing businesses to create chatbots powered by Microsoft’s Azure App Services, with base pricing for its Premium channels at $0.50 per 1,000 messages.

Finally, another alternative for businesses looking for an AI solution lies in IBM’s Watson Assistant, with its base pricing starting at $140 per month and offering over 1,000 monthly users and 30 days of analytics data.

Using ChatGPT

One of the most striking things about ChatGPT’s debut is the chatbot’s flexibility — businesses of all types and sizes have been able to put it to use. We’ve looked at some of its most common usages and how they correspond to the features available.

General usage

One of ChatGPT’s most popular functions is as a virtual assistant, offering an array of basic capabilities with a customizable conversational bot. With a library of general knowledge, it can help a business owner create personal trainer templates or recipe guides for customers and give general recommendations on how to better market their goods and services to potential clients.

Its free version is perfectly capable if this is all you need from your AI chatbot, although upgrading removes limitations and increases performance as well as offering access to GPTs.

Content creation

ChatGPT offers a useful tool for content creation — but we think it serves better as an assistant rather than a source of actual content. It offers an efficient way to research and brainstorm ideas thanks to its ability to browse the web and provide citations.

Its advanced language processing capabilities mean it excels as an editing and proofreading tool — and it might even be useful for producing generic short-form copy. But for businesses that want to produce high-quality content, human input will definitely be required to reach publishing standards.

chat gpt research paper summary

Its ability to craft compelling copy could be described as hit-and-miss — it can often lean on stereotypes and tropes, and users have found alternatives like Google’s Gemini to be a better creative assistant. ChatGPT also uses many different emojis when crafting social media posts for businesses, so it might not be the best thing to use if you’re wanting something a bit more professional. 

chat gpt research paper summary

ChatGPT’s paid plans also offer access to its integrated image generation tool known as Dall-E, which is powerful but not without its flaws. It might put mobile phone wallpaper creators out of business soon, but it lacks the subtlety of human artistry and photography.

Reading files

We were impressed by ChatGPT’s ability to read file uploads from images and videos to text and data. It offers useful criticism of examples of writing, art and photography, and its ability to read and organize data as well as offer visual representations will be valuable to many. We asked it to critique a child’s painting and some nature photos we took, and we also uploaded a small dataset which we asked it to analyze.

Its ability to read images is excellent, providing accurate analysis and useful feedback on the art and photography presented. And while it did take a few seconds to analyze the dataset, it was able to produce a neat bar chart using the figures provided.

As a source of feedback and general advice, we think it’s a powerful and convenient tool, and it’s likely worth paying for full access for those who will make regular use of the software. But it can make mistakes, so it’s important to understand that while insights can be useful it’s still no substitute for human input and quality assurance.

Creating GPTs

GPTs are a fascinating development of ChatGPT’s initial offering, allowing paying users to tailor their own chatbots to their personal requirements. While this comes with limitations — you can’t grant ChatGPT magic abilities that it didn’t have before — it can offer convenience and an overall more immersive experience.

The GPT store gives you access to GPTs created by other users, and you can also upload your own creations for others to use. There are GPTs available for writing, productivity, research and analysis, education, programming and general lifestyle applications. 

GPT-4o was an intriguing development in the ChatGPT story. It was made available as the most advanced version of the software for all users, including free users. Users are split on its overall performance improvements, with some saying it has become more generic and simplified compared to previous models and others praising its boosted speed. 

What is quite revolutionary is its human-AI interface, with voice chat now available in real-time. It can be a surreal experience, speaking with a machine for the first time, and it feels like a genuine conversation. However, this voice feature might not help business owners as much, unless they prefer speaking their requests instead of needing to type them.

ChatGPT vs. top competitors

FREE PLANBASE PLAN PER MONTHHIGHEST PLAN PER MONTHCUSTOM PRICINGAPI ACCESS

While ChatGPT might’ve been the first, it isn’t the only chatbot in town — tech giants like Google, Microsoft and IBM have launched their own services, and depending on what you need from your AI chatbot, it’s worth considering everything available. 

ChatGPT vs. Gemini (previously Google Bard)

Google’s Gemini, previously known as Bard, is an alternative chatbot that offers similar functionality at the same base price point of $19.99 a month, though it doesn’t offer extra tiers for teams and enterprises. 

Since Chat GPT’s latest update, both offer similar abilities in the way of web browsing, file reading and data analysis, but Gemini offers a greater context window of one million, and users online seem to prefer its ability for creative writing and feedback. 

ChatGPT vs. Microsoft Azure Bot Service

If you’re looking for an AI chat service to run a chatbot for your business website, you might consider Microsoft’s specialist Azure software. It lets you design and build conversational AI bots to interact with your customers and employees, and you won’t need any coding knowledge to set up. 

Microsoft’s Azure Bot Service offers unlimited free messages on its standard channel and 10,000 free messages per month across premium channels. Extra messages cost $0.50 per 1,000 messages.

ChatGPT vs. IBM Watson Assistant

IBM’s Watson Assistant is another solution for enterprises more so than everyday users, allowing you to create AI assistants for customers across various channels and devices. It offers a free version that lets you create chatbots for web chat, SMS, MMS and multiple integrated messaging channels. 

Voice add-ons and custom channel API are only available on paid plans. These start at $140 a month and also offer more assistants, more days of retained analytics data and longer sessions. 

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot that allows users to interact with artificial intelligence in a human, conversational manner. Offering a range of features including image generation, data analysis and real-time web browsing, it’s a powerful tool that can provide useful help in a number of situations, from content creation and being a virtual assistant to data analysis and coding.

ChatGPT can be especially useful to small business owners who don’t have time to create hundreds of social media posts for their business. With a little tweaking, it can definitely help streamline many day-to-day tasks for businesses.

You can interact with ChatGPT simply by typing a message into the chat interface and sending it, and the AI chatbot will reply in real time. ChatGPT’s new 4o version allows you to talk to the software and have a real-time conversation, too.

Yes, ChatGPT offers a free plan that gives you access to its 3.5 model and powerful 4o model, although you won’t be able to use ChatGPT 4.0. It offers limited access to features like data analysis, browsing and vision. This is great for small business owners who are on a budget.

ChatGPT’s main features include:

  • Voice: With the most recent 4o model, you’ll be able to have real-time conversations with ChatGPT.
  • Web browsing: You can also ask it to browse the web for real-time information, although sometimes it can be inaccurate.
  • Data analysis: Uploading datasets allows ChatGPT to analyze data and produce interactive graphs and charts as well as provide insights and commentary.
  • Vision: ChatGPT is also able to assess images you upload, such as drawings and photos, and provide feedback such as artistic critique, DIY suggestions or even identifying plants and animals.
  • File uploads: You’ll be able to upload a range of other files, including photos and videos, documents, audio files and spreadsheets. ChatGPT can open these, assess the contents and provide feedback.
  • Image generation: Integration with DALL-E means you can generate unique images based on prompts you give it, and while quality is debatable, it can be an entertaining creative outlet.
  • GPTs: Plus users can create GPTs and share with the public, giving you the ability to essentially design your own chatbot based on ChatGPT software.

ChatGPT encrypts all data in transit and at rest, with a 24/7 data security team on call and a bug bounty program where people can disclose any vulnerabilities they discover. You can also access a Security Portal with more detailed information and documents relating to data security and privacy at Open AI.

Yes, ChatGPT is able to understand multiple languages both in its chatbot and voice mode feature. This can be helpful for small business owners who might have employees who speak different languages. 

ChatGPT, like many other AI-powered chatbots, is not immune to factual error, so it’s advisable not to use ChatGPT for important tasks or information without checking thoroughly against real-world data.
