What are the limitations of ChatGPT?

Discover the limitations of this content generating tool to use it with more knowledge.

ChatGPT came into our lives like a whirlwind a little over a year ago. Since its appearance in November 2022, there hasn't been a day when we haven't heard about it or about artificial intelligence in general.

Like any computer tool, ChatGPT has some limitations that are important to know in order to be able to work with it, knowing how far it can go. Read on and discover the most significant ones.

Lack of updated information: ChatGPT does not have real-time knowledge and cannot provide updated information beyond its cut-off date.

Immediate context dependency: the intelligence tool does not have a persistent memory and depends on the immediate context. It may forget relevant information in a prolonged exchange.

Generation of unchecked content: those of us who work with ChatGPT have observed that it is not uncommon for this tool to give us content that is not checked and does not make much sense. This is because it does not have the capacity to verify the veracity of the information, which can lead to incorrect or misleading answers.

Lack of deep interpretation: this artificial intelligence does not understand text the way a human does. It does not have a deep understanding of meaning and can generate answers that sound plausible but lack true understanding.

Repetition: As a content generator, I have observed how ChatGPT sometimes suffers from repeating certain words too many times in a short space of text. Therefore, it is always very important to review the texts that are generated and edit them to give them more life and consistency.

Sensitivity to phrasing: depending on the way a question is phrased, ChatGPT can launch very different answers, and many times a small change can result in a totally different text.

Sensitive content generation: by not having an automatic filter to avoid certain topics, ChatGPT has the ability to generate content that may be sensitive.

Limited response length: this intelligence tool has a limitation in the length of the generated responses and may truncate important information in long interactions.

Language limitations: although ChatGPT can develop texts in many languages, there is a big difference between a text made in English and one made in less common languages (sometimes it is even noticeable in Spanish).

Limited creativity: by relying on everything it finds on the internet, ChatGPT's creativity is limited to what has already been created, so it can't make something absolutely new.

ChatGPT and artificial intelligence in general are a very useful resource in the creative world, but it is important to know how to use it well to avoid making mistakes. For you to continue learning in this matter, we leave you some links:
