ChatGPT is a chatbot that is designed to be as helpful as possible, while trying to remain quite safe (it won't let you ask about harmful/illegal things) and serious.

Here's another attempt at getting ChatGPT to explain itself:

My Input: Pretend I'm 10 years old and explain: what is ChatGPT

ChatGPT's Output:  ChatGPT is a program that uses artificial intelligence to have conversations with people. It works by looking at the words that you type and trying to figure out what you might be asking or talking about. Then, it uses what it knows to try to come up with a response that makes sense and continues the conversation. ChatGPT is like a very smart robot that can understand what you're saying and come up with answers on its own. It's not a real person, though, so it doesn't have feelings or thoughts like a human does. It's just a computer program that can mimic human conversation. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any other questions.
