ChatGPT or A Silent Everywhere Helper: A Survey of Large Language Models

Abstract

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revo lutionized natural language processing Natural Language Processing (NLP), with Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) standing out as a notable exampledue to its advanced capabilities and widespread applications. This survey provides a comprehensive analysis of ChatGPT, exploring its architecture, training processes, and functionalities. We examine its integration into various domains across industries such as customer service, education, healthcare, and entertainment. A comparative analysis with other LLMs highlights ChatGPT's unique features and performance metrics. Regarding benchmarks, the paper examines ChatGPT's comparative performance against other LLMs and discusses potential risks such as misinformation, bias, and data privacy concerns. Additionally, we offer a number of figures and tables that outline the backdrop of the discussion, the main ideas of the article, the numerous LLM models, a thorough list of datasets used for pre-training, fine-tuning, and evaluation, as well as particular LLM applications with pertinent references. Finally, we identify future research directions and technological advancements, underscoring the evolving landscape of LLMs and their profound impact on artificial intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) and society.
