This is an example of a response from ChatGPT when
asked “who has to pay income tax in India and how
to pay,” and this response was generated in just a few
seconds.

lead to nonsensical or inaccurate responses. While
the model can generate plausible responses based
on statistical patterns in language, it may not have a
deep understanding of the context or the real-world
implications of its responses.
iii. Repetitive Responses
Another limitation of ChatGPT is that it can generate
repetitive responses or responses that lack creativity
or originality. This is because the model relies on
statistical patterns in the training data to generate
responses, which can sometimes result in the same
or similar responses being generated for different
prompts or contexts.
iv. Lack of Emotional Understanding
ChatGPT lacks emotional understanding, which
means that it may not always be able to accurately
interpret the emotional tone of a conversation or a
prompt. This can lead to inappropriate or insensitive
responses. For example, if a user expresses sadness
or grief in a conversation, ChatGPT may not always

Future of ChatGPT
As AI technology advances, ChatGPT’s future is likely to
continue to evolve and improve as an AI based virtual
assistant. In the future, ChatGPT may become much
more capable of understanding and responding to
human language with increased accuracy.
