No doubt you’ve heard of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the revolutionary technology that has been making waves in one of the most dynamic and innovative tech spaces: generative AI. Remarkably, within just two months of its launch, it had managed to attract an impressive 100 million users. Staggeringly, it took Instagram over two years to achieve that same milestone.

Predictions suggest that between 2025 and 2045, we’re likely to develop artificial intelligence (AI) capable of surpassing human intelligence, and it’s undeniable that reaching such a milestone will profoundly transform our world in ways we can’t yet fully imagine. However, until that day arrives, we can certainly benefit from leveraging technologies like ChatGPT and its counterparts to improve our web projects — something we’re already doing in our work at SECL Group.

ChatGPT’s versatility ensures that it has applications across a multitude of domains, including, but not limited to, the optimization of web system operations.

In this article, we’ll explore some diverse use cases of OpenAI/ChatGPT and how it can be effectively used to enhance the development of web projects. You’ll gain from our extensive experience as a web development firm, having successfully integrated this service into various systems. We’ll even share insights into how we’re working with it as part of our brand-new travel startup – but more on that later.

How does OpenAI / ChatGPT work?

A note of caution to begin with, as it’s important to remember that the ChatGPT database might not be fully up-to-date. At the time of writing, its most recent update occurred in February 2023, and while data relevance is updated, there is always a slight delay, meaning that the AI will not be aware of the most recent global events.

On the flip side, however, ChatGPT’s trainability allows it to keep pace with data on specific projects. Other alternatives do use current data, such as Chatsonic or Microsoft Bing Chat (which operates on the ChatGPT framework).

It’s worth underscoring that despite appearances, ChatGPT is not yet on par with human intelligence, therefore it’s crucial to be specific when assigning tasks to avoid sub-par results. That said, the technology is particularly adept at analyzing large volumes of data, so is a solid choice if your web solution relies heavily on text content.

It’s also crucial to remember that Google can distinguish between content generated by ChatGPT and content written by humans. Therefore, generating large volumes of text using this technology will not be the most strategic move, as Google is likely to classify such texts as having been plagiarized, which will lower your search engine rankings.

The language of your project is another important consideration, as ChatGPT performs best with English. For other languages, there might be certain nuances to be aware of. On cost, although the API isn’t free, OpenAI initially credits a small amount to your account for you to get started with. To make additional queries, however, you’ll need to pay.

Recently, there’s been a surge of out-of-the-box solutions based on ChatGPT, but their capability to address varied needs remains limited. Typically, these solutions are chatbot-related.

OpenAI/ChatGPT can be integrated into web projects with any tech stack via API. Our company specializes in Python, JS, and PHP projects, so we naturally lean towards these technologies.
