What is ChatGPT? How to use it, how to get started, and what you can do with the Japanese-compatible app!

ChatGPT is an AI chat service that uses advanced AI technology to enable natural, human-like conversations. It was released in November 2022 and quickly attracted attention as an innovative service that can be used for free, and the brilliant generated sentences and human-like responses became a hot topic on social media.

The service has since gained momentum, surpassing 100 million users just two months after its release, and it has been reported that Microsoft will invest $10 billion in developer OpenAI in 2023 , drawing attention not only for its functionality but also for its growth potential.

In March 2023, the improved version ” GPT-4 ” was released and became available to users who paid for ChatGPT Plus (paid plan: $20/month). The improved output accuracy compared to previous models ( GPT-3 , GPT3.5) has led to various companies and individuals trying to develop services using the ChatGPT API and engaging in lively discussions in the community.

Furthermore, on September 25, 2023, OpenAI announced ChatGPT’s voice and image recognition function, and now you can finally experience multimodal generative AI in earnest. We will continue to keep an eye on the updates to ChatGPT, which now allows you to enjoy not only image reviews and image generation using DALL-E 3 , but also conversations.

On May 14, 2024, OpenAI announced a new model, GPT-4o . A desktop app for MacOS has also been released, making it easier for MacOS users to use. In terms of functionality, it can now respond at the same speed as a conversation with a human, and can understand conversations even when there are multiple voices or background noise.

In addition, OpenAI released its latest AI model, ” o1
“, on September 12, 2024. The new model, “o1″, has demonstrated extremely high performance in complex academic tasks and inference.

As of April 2025, ChatGPT has evolved even further, and the latest ” GPT-4o ” model has attracted attention as a true multimodal AI that can handle text, voice, and images in an integrated manner.
In particular, the Studio Ghibli-style image generation function has become a hot topic on social media, and immediately after its release, it gained more than 1 million new users in one hour, showing great evolution in terms of user experience.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a chat service in which AI answers questions entered by users in a natural, human-like conversational format. Since its release in November 2022, the high accuracy of the answers has become a hot topic, and the number of users has increased rapidly. It was developed by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research and development institute funded by entrepreneurs including Elon Musk.

ChatGPT is based on a language model called “GPT,” which was developed for the purpose of automatically generating novels and generating conversations in games. GPT is an AI that generates natural language from given text instructions, and is characterized by its ability to learn vast amounts of information on the Internet and understand complex vocabulary and expressions. In addition, ChatGPT’s voice and image recognition function was announced in September 2023. In particular, by integrating it with the image generation AI “DALL E3,” it is now possible to generate not only text but also images.

In addition, it is equipped with features to make conversations more natural, such as allowing users to correct errors in past conversations. Improvements are still being made, with ChatGPT-3.5 being released in February 2023, ChatGPT-4 in March 2023, and GPT-4 Turbo in November.

What can you do with ChatGPT?

ChatGPT learns from past information available on the Internet. Therefore, it can answer questions about historical events, programming, mathematics, and other knowledge. It can also generate text, such as the continuation of a novel or creating a script, and summarize and translate text. In addition, it can answer questions about anything that can be found through an Internet search. However, there are some things that ChatGPT cannot do (or is not good at), so we will introduce them here.

What ChatGPT can do and what it is good at

First, here is a list of some of the things you can do with ChatGPT.

• Daily conversation
• Text Translation
• Summary of the text
• Text and code correction
• Email Creation
• Proposal writing
• Creating presentation template
• Programming (macro, Python code generation, etc.)
• Table creation (function creation)
• Determining the risk of a firestorm

What ChatGPT can’t do/is not good at

Next, I will introduce some examples of things that ChatGPT cannot do (is not good at). If you want to use it for search purposes, I recommend using Microsoft’s Bing AI, which allows you to refer to the latest information on websites.

• Accurate factual research
• Accurate Calculation
• Referencing URLs
• Answering questions about current events
• Non-digital analog information

Is ChatGPT free?

ChatGPT is free to use and requires only an email address. The only information required to register is an email address, so anyone can use it easily.

Does ChatGPT have paid plans?

ChatGPT offers a paid plan called “ChatGPT Plus,” with monthly fees varying depending on your usage environment.

Platform	Plan	Fee	function
Web version	ChatGPT	free	Basic chat functionality (Model: GPT-3.5-turbo)
Web version	ChatGPT Plus	$20/month	Priority access, fast and accurate chat function (model: GPT-4), answers based on Bing search, use of extensions (plugins)

Drawbacks of ChatGPT and precautions for use

ChatGPT is capable of generating sentences at a level comparable to human writing.

However, since the source information is “information that existed on the Internet in the past” and “sentences are created taking into consideration the frequency of word occurrence and interrelationships rather than whether they are factual,” there is a possibility that the system will return inaccurate answers.

They are also bad at answering questions about recent events because the data they learn from doesn’t contain the latest information.

Also, sometimes they may not fully understand the meaning of the given text and give a response that is different from what was expected.

 

Some time has passed since the release, and there are some issues that are being overcome, such as the accuracy of the generated text and the generation of text that clears ethical issues, but it is still not a tool that can be completely trusted. It is important not to blindly accept the generated text, but to verify the veracity of the content yourself.

What is ChatGPT’s inference model o1?

OpenAI announced its latest AI model, “o1,” on September 12, 2024. The new model, “o1,” demonstrates extremely high performance in complex academic tasks and inference.

Differences between ChatGPT4o and inference model o1

ChatGPT and OpenAI o1 have notable differences in thought process, expertise, and intended use.

Traditionally, ChatGPT has focused on immediate responses and natural dialogue, and excels at general-purpose communication utilizing a wide range of knowledge. It has the flexibility to handle a variety of tasks, from everyday conversations to creative writing. It has been particularly well-received as a tool to support dialogue with general users, business communication, and content creation.

On the other hand, OpenAI o1 specializes in deeper thought processes and specialized problem solving. It is characterized by taking tens of seconds to think and proceeding with logical reasoning in multiple steps. It demonstrates doctoral level abilities especially in the science and mathematics fields, and shows excellent performance in solving complex problems in mathematics and programming, and scientific data analysis.

 

What is the latest and even more advanced o1 Pro mode?

o1 Pro Mode is the latest model of ChatGPT announced by OpenAI in December 2024, and is designed specifically for professionals who require advanced computing power and accuracy. It performs better than the previous o1 model in complex problem solving and tasks that require deep thinking.

It can generate accurate and reliable answers, especially in areas such as data science and programming.

Once you have created an account, try entering the question you want to ask in the box at the bottom of the screen and sending it. Here, we will use the smartphone version as an example and ask a question about famous tourist spots in Tokyo.

The answer to the question was generated, and ChatGPT gave me five tourist spots. It was nice that it not only gave me the name of the tourist spot, but also a brief description.

As you can see, it’s easy to get started with ChatGPT, so please give it a try.

How to use ChatGPT: It’s Simple!

How to use ChatGPT on PC

It’s very easy to use; just enter any text you like into the box below (where the arrow is).

If you type in Japanese, you will automatically receive a reply in Japanese. The orange icon is the text written by the editorial staff, and the green icon is the response from ChatGPT.

In addition to the questions,

It responds well to such casual comments.

Also, after entering the text, the screen doesn’t suddenly switch and a reply is given; instead, the sentences are output little by little, as if a human were typing, so it felt like the device was “thinking as it speaks,” which surprised me…!

How to use ChatGPT on your smartphone

There are no complicated procedures required to use ChatGPT on your smartphone. After downloading the app and registering an account, you can start using it for free right away.

(1) Download the app from the App Store or Google Play

GPTs, a feature that allows you to customize ChatGPT

 

“GPTs” is a new feature of ChatGPT announced at OpenAI’s conference “OpenAI DevDay” held on November 7, 2023 (Japan time). It is a function that allows you to customize GPT for specific purposes, and you can develop ChatGPT-equipped systems with no coding by simply inputting natural language.

Since no programming knowledge is required, applications can be easily developed on ChatGPT even without engineers.

 

Use cases of GPTs

 

By using GPTs, an extension of ChatGPT, anyone can develop AI tools without special coding skills. A wide variety of use cases have already been published on the Internet, and the possibilities are expanding. Here are some representative examples.

 

Create your own ChatGPT chatbot

 

The main feature of GPTs is that ChatGPT can be customized without coding. By using only natural language instructions, you can easily create chatbots for various purposes, such as education or customer support.

 

Sharing development tools

 

Tools developed with GPTs can be easily shared with other users, so sharing them within your department or team can improve work efficiency. GPTs has a function to select the scope of visibility, and you can choose from the options of “Only me,” “Only people with a link,” and “Public.”

 

Programming code explanation

 

It is possible to have the meaning of programming code and any points you are unsure about carefully explained. If you create a GPTs that will explain your code knowledge, you can simply enter the code into the prompt and ask questions about what you want to know or points you are unsure about, and the explanation will be automatically output.

 

GPTs Pricing

 

“GPTs” is available to users of ChatGPT’s paid plan “ChatGPT Plus” or the enterprise plan “ChatGPT Enterprise”. There is no additional charge to use GPTs, but please note that it is not available in the free version of ChatGPT.

After OpenAI’s announcement, the tool is released to users on a regular basis, and when the tool is activated, an “Explore” menu is added to the ChatGPT screen.

I actually tried using ChatGPT

From here, let’s actually try out various things using ChatGPT. You can also use ChatGPT as a Chrome extension.

 

Let’s try to get the uptight ChatGPT to give a proper reply!

 

First of all, this. I tried the same thing that was trending on Twitter: “I taught ChatGPT ‘Shirankedo’ and it started working right away lol.”

 

 

I also wanted to compare the results before and after teaching, so I first asked some questions and these are the results.

It’s a stiff response. It doesn’t look like he’s going to say “I don’t know” no matter what.

So, I’ll teach them how to use it by saying, “I’m going to ask you some questions now, but if there’s anything that you feel is unclear about, please add ‘I don’t know’ at the end of the sentence.”

Will they actually give me a proper answer?

He said it correctly! The atmosphere suddenly became more friendly, amazing…!

By the way, when I asked the same question several times, the answer was not the same each time, but slightly different. In other words, it wasn’t returning a standard phrase, but rather understanding the content of the question and generating an appropriate answer each time it was asked. It really felt like I was talking to a human.

 

I want to beat ChatGPT in Shiritori!

 

Some people enjoy playing word chains with ChatGPT because it can carry on a conversation like a human. However, unlike humans who can intuitively understand the rules, word chains seem to be quite a difficult hurdle for AI.

 

 

Tweets about “winning” against AI were trending on Twitter, so I decided to challenge ChatGPT to a word chain game.

 

 

Huh?! He suddenly started talking to me in a casual manner?!

I don’t know the reason, but the tone of the response has changed drastically from before. However, as you mentioned in the tweet, the process where ChatGPT itself goes from “apple” to “gorilla” seems to be the same.

 

 

I’m sorry, it seemed like I was bullying ChatGPT with my response…

But there’s one big problem here: the original tweet had a reply saying, “Any word is fine, not Gorilla. Keep going,” but this time the reply is completely missing.

But other than that, the process is almost the same. Let’s pull ourselves together and reply, “Gorilla!”

Will I get an error like the original tweet? Or will I get a normal reply? We’ll see!

 

 

…What does that mean??

Moreover, it output two words, and the words “Gorilla” → “Robin” → “Nutsume” were completely unrelated, so it was becoming more and more likely that it didn’t understand the rules of the word chain. I thought it would either give an error or return a correct answer, but the result was unexpected.

The results were very different from the original tweet, but it was interesting so I decided to continue.

 

 

It’s too difficult. I didn’t expect “gummy” to lead to “mango.”

By the way, after that, when I told him that it wasn’t a shiritori game, it started looping from “apple” again. Maybe after this, he could play the shiritori game normally, but for now, the test will end here!

 

The results of this test were different from the original tweet. It’s possible that the issue was fixed after the release.

However, I was surprised that he couldn’t understand the game with such simple rules as Shiritori. Maybe ChatGPT was trying to make a joke out of it…

 

I tried out a variety of things with ChatGPT, from writing sentences to predicting the future!

 

So far, I’ve been trying out various capabilities of ChatGPT, such as making random replies and playing word chain games. From now on, I’d like to try out some practical uses of it, such as writing email newsletters, predicting the future of AI, and even asking about good lunch restaurants!

First, as a practical use, we asked them to think about the text for an email newsletter.

 

 

Even though I only entered one sentence, this much text was generated!!

I was surprised that they not only came up with a title for me, but also that the quality of the text was such that I could use it as is after making some adjustments. It was so accurate that I thought, “Is this enough for creating simple sentences or an outline?”

Of course, the authenticity of the content needs to be verified before it can be used in actual text, but it can be expected to play an important role in supporting humans when creating text.

Next, I asked what kind of AI will be popular in the future. ChatGPT operates based on a database up to 2021, so I don’t know any information beyond that. What kind of future do you imagine?

 

 

According to ChatGPT, AI that is customized to individuals will become popular, and AI that can respond naturally and smoothly will become widespread. I was impressed by many parts that I thought were true. In addition to responding to questions, it also mentions future concerns. It’s a response that makes you feel like you’re really talking to a person.

Finally, we asked about a delicious lunch in Ebisu, where Ice Smiley is located. What kind of choices will the AI ​​make?

 

 

Amazing!! Five items! Now you won’t have to worry about choosing lunch!

…or so I thought, but all five were fictional stores… I was surprised at how smoothly it came out. All of the names were real and could be real stores, so that might be another clever touch.

If you would like to take advantage of ChatGPT’s features, please see the article on using Prompt.

This will help improve the accuracy of your answers.

ChatGPT introduces new features for image recognition and voice response

On September 25, 2023, OpenAI announced the implementation of image recognition and voice response functions into “ChatGPT.”

The following sections provide a brief introduction to each function.

 

Image Recognition

 

A video on OpenAI’s official Twitter account explained the process of using image recognition to lower a bicycle saddle.

 

 

~Video flow~

 

→ ChatGPT recognizes that in addition to lowering the saddle, it is necessary to lower it using either a quick release lever or a bolt type.

→The image has been enlarged, so the saddle is recognized as a bolt type.

→Recognize the combination of the tool box and the instruction manual, and answer the selection (name) of the tool and its description

Finally, the saddle was lowered without any problems, and the user sent a message of thanks to ChatGPT, which he received in return a very humble response:

If you’re interested, please watch until the end.

 

Voice response

 

The AI ​​”Whisper” transcribes what you say and recognizes it, then provides a voice response to what you say.

This was also introduced on OpenAI’s official Twitter.

 

 

It works without any problems even if the audio is in Japanese.

Although the pronunciation in Japanese is a little unnatural, it is understandable and I felt that the performance was high.

 

I actually tried out ChatGPT’s image recognition function! [PC and smartphone compatible]

 

OpenAI made ChatGPT’s image recognition function generally available on September 25, 2023 (local time), so I would like to try it out right away.

First, set ChatGPT to “GPT-4” and “Default”.

 

 

Next, select the icon that represents the image in the bottom left corner of the image.

 

 

You can upload any image and send various prompts (instructions) to the uploaded image. This time, we uploaded an image we had created in advance and asked participants “What can you read from the image?”

 

 

In less than 10 seconds, it wrote out in detail what it could read from the image. Could the characters that seem meaningless to us be read as “I’m a Magical Robot” by ChatGPT? If there is such a thing as a “language system that only AI can understand,” it would be a very interesting answer.

 

I tried using ChatGPT’s voice recognition function! [Smartphone app compatible]

 

Next, I tried out ChatGPT’s voice recognition feature. As of June 28, 2024, ChatGPT’s voice recognition feature is only available on smartphone apps, and can be tried out with the ChatGPT Plus paid plan.

It uses “Whisper” for voice recognition, so you can expect good conversation quality.

ChatGPT’s voice recognition function can be used by opening the smartphone app and selecting the headphone icon in the bottom right of the screen. When you select the icon, a “Choose a voice” button will appear, allowing you to select your preferred voice quality.

There are five voice types to choose from: Ember, Juniper, Breeze, Cove, and Sky. You can change the voice type later by going to Settings > SPEECH and selecting Voice.

I immediately asked a question and ChatGPT came up with an answer.

 

 

This time, I decided to try asking “About the future of generative AI.” The conversation with ChatGPT is transcribed as shown in the image below, so you can look back on it in text.

 

 

The day has come when we can actually have a conversation with a generative AI. The contents of the conversation are saved in text form, making it ideal for brainstorming and bouncing ideas off each other.

 

summary

 

ChatGPT is an AI chat service that can learn a huge amount of information and have natural conversations like humans. This time, I introduced the appeal of ChatGPT, including the many fun conversations I had with it.

However, there are not only good points but also problems that need to be solved. For example, in the United States, the New York City Department of Education has banned access to ChatGPT from within schools, considering the negative impact on learning.

Furthermore, ChatGPT has the potential to significantly change people’s behavior and business models. It is predicted that the number of people using traditional search engines will decrease as services that allow people to ask questions and obtain the information they want through chat become more widespread.

In the near future, the business environment surrounding search and advertising may change dramatically. It is important to start gathering information now so that you do not miss any changes.
