What are OpenAI, GPT-3, and ChatGPT?

GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer version 3), developed by OpenAI, is an advanced language processing model that uses deep learning to generate human-like text.
ChatGPT is a chatbot built upon GPT-3 that is capable of text (or code) generation, question answering, text completion, conversation generation, summarization, translation, sentiment analysis, style analysis & imitation, etc.
OpenAI is a US-based research lab that also developed DALL-E, a deep learning model that produces images from natural language descriptors.
