And the traffic just keeps growing\u20144.5 billion visits in March alone. The AI tool answers more than 1 billion daily queries, showing how many people tap into its digital brainpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all.

Currently, it only knows things up until November 2023, unless you&#8217;re using the web-connected version (like in ChatGPT Plus with browsing). So don\u2019t expect it to give you next week\u2019s lottery numbers or the latest celebrity gossip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"it-can-make-mistakes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Can_Make_Mistakes\"><\/span><strong>It Can Make Mistakes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ChatGPT sometimes \u201challucinates\u201d facts. Yup, it might confidently tell you something totally wrong. That\u2019s why it\u2019s good to double-check important info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"it-can-be-biased\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Can_Be_Biased\"><\/span><strong>It Can Be Biased<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it learns from human-written data, it might pick up human biases. OpenAI works to minimize this, but users should always be aware and think critically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"it-cant-do-everything\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Cant_Do_Everything\"><\/span><strong>It Can\u2019t Do Everything<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike its cousin DALL\u00b7E 2 (which makes images), it focuses only on language.
