Abstract

ChatGPT is a large language processing model created by OpenAI. It has brought significant improvements to the field of natural language processing, particularly generating text and conversational dialogues as well as answering questions. In this paper, a systematic literature review on ChatGPT has been done. Intelligent approaches and techniques associated with Large Language Models have been discussed. Further, the salient features of ChatGPT including generating human-like responses and understanding natural language have been examined. Moreover, the issues and challenges of ChatGPT such as bias, misinterpretation, security concerns, etc., have been highlighted. Finally, the various applications of ChatGPT across various sectors like healthcare, banking, business, and content generation have been discussed. Overall, this work provides valuable insights for researchers and industries seeking to enhance the performance and application of ChatGPT.
