Basics of AI and ChatGPT for students


1️⃣ What is AI?

  • Definition (Simple): AI is like giving a computer a brain that can learn.

  • Analogy: Think of your smartphone. Earlier it only followed fixed commands (calculator, music). Now it learns from data — like YouTube suggesting videos, or Google Maps predicting traffic. That’s AI.

  • Example: When you order from Swiggy, AI decides:

    • Which restaurant shows up first,

    • What food to recommend,

    • And even the fastest delivery route.


2️⃣ Difference Between AI, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity

  • AI (General): Big umbrella. Like “Sports” is a category (cricket, football, hockey all inside it).

  • ChatGPT: A type of AI (like cricket in sports). It’s good at understanding and generating human-like text.

  • Gemini (by Google): Another AI chatbot, but it connects strongly with Google Search + Google ecosystem (Maps, YouTube).

  • Perplexity: A chatbot that is like a student who always carries reference books. It directly shows sources, links, and citations.

  • Analogy:

    • AI → Sports

    • ChatGPT → Cricket

    • Gemini → Football

    • Perplexity → Hockey

Student Example:

  • Want to chat and learn concepts → ChatGPT

  • Want Google-powered answers → Gemini

  • Want answers + sources (like homework references) → Perplexity


3️⃣ What is ChatGPT?

  • Definition: ChatGPT is a chatbot made by OpenAI that talks, explains, and helps you study like a friendly teacher.

  • Analogy: Imagine you have a “super-smart friend” who knows everything, never gets tired, and explains in your language.

  • Example:

    • Ask: “Explain Newton’s Third Law in cricket language.”

    • ChatGPT: “When the ball hits the bat, the bat pushes back on the ball with equal force — that’s why the ball bounces away.”


4️⃣ How to Create a ChatGPT Login

  1. Go to chat.openai.com

  2. Click Sign Up

  3. Enter your Gmail or mobile number

  4. Create a password

  5. Confirm with OTP

  6. Done ✅ You can now chat with ChatGPT free (GPT-3.5). Paid version (GPT-4) has more features.

(You can also download ChatGPT app on Android/iOS from Play Store/App Store.)


5️⃣ How to Get Best Results (Prompting Skills)

The secret is: The better you ask, the better AI answers.
This is called Prompt Engineering.

📝 Tips for You:

  1. Be Specific: Instead of “Explain maths”, ask “Explain Pythagoras theorem in 5 steps with an example of a cricket ground.”

  2. Ask for Style: “Explain like I’m 10 years old” vs “Explain like a topper student” → you get different results.

  3. Use Examples You Like: Add context: cricket, Bollywood, gaming, school life.

  4. Use ChatGPT for Revision: Ask it to make flashcards, quizzes, summaries.

  5. Cross-Check Facts: Don’t blindly trust — always verify with textbook.


🎯 Example Prompts for Students

  1. Science:
    “Explain the Digestive System in simple points using Indian food examples like dosa, rice, dal.”

  2. Maths:
    “Create 10 practice sums for Class 10 Trigonometry with step-by-step solutions.”

  3. History:
    “Summarize the 1857 Revolt in 10 points for quick revision.”

  4. Geography:
    “Explain Monsoon in India using a story of clouds traveling from sea to land.”

  5. English:
    “Check my essay for grammar mistakes and rewrite it in better words: [paste essay].”

  6. Exam Practice:
    “Make a 40-mark mock exam in Science (Maharashtra SSC Board style) with answer key.”

  7. Motivation:
    “Give me 5 motivational lines before my Board exam like Sachin Tendulkar encouraging me.”


✅ So in short:

  • AI = the whole field (sports)

  • ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity = different players/teams in AI world

  • ChatGPT = your personal teacher + study buddy

  • Good prompts = good answers
