The first AI feature to gain bigger traction was ChatGPT's chat interface.
Previous versions of OpenAI's GPT required direct interaction with the API and usually had to include response priming a Q/A format to guide the AI to a desired output.
With the chat interface, the users's input was now wrapped in an <assistant>
- <user>
format, while also maintaining a conversation history, creating a continuous context.
Most chat features are also given a <system>
tag, which is used to provide instructions, rules & personalities to the model.
