1. What is an AI?

An AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a system designed to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence.

These tasks include understanding language, analyzing data, predicting events, or generating content.

ChatGPT, for example, is a type of AI based on language models trained on vast amounts of text.

It has no consciousness or free will: it replies based on what it "learned" during training.

It can be a useful tool in many fields, from programming to writing, from technical help to personal learning.

The effectiveness of AI depends heavily on the quality of the questions it receives — it’s not a mind reader, but a great assistant.

The more you learn to ask clear and well-contextualized questions, the more powerful it becomes in your everyday life.

×

2. How does an AI work?

An AI like ChatGPT works thanks to a mathematical model called a neural network, inspired by how the human brain functions.

During training, the neural network analyzes billions of sentences, texts, and conversations to learn how words connect to each other.

It learns statistical patterns in language, not logic or common sense.

When you ask a question, the AI doesn’t retrieve a fixed response but builds a new sentence, word by word.

Each word is chosen based on the probability of being the most appropriate in the context of the sentence and conversation.

The model doesn’t remember past interactions unless you remind it within the same session.

It’s fast, grammatically accurate, and often impressive — but not infallible: every answer is a statistical estimate, not an absolute truth.

Understanding how it works helps you use it better and accept its limits intelligently.

×

3. What an AI can (and cannot) do

An AI like ChatGPT can analyze, summarize, translate, and generate text very quickly and efficiently.

It’s useful for writing articles, creating code, suggesting ideas, explaining concepts, and solving small technical issues.

It’s a great support for students, hobbyists, professionals, and anyone needing information or clarification.

Some advanced versions can access the web to retrieve updated information, but in most cases AI works offline using training data.

It has no moral judgment, doesn’t truly understand emotions, and can’t distinguish true from false unless guided by an attentive user.

It cannot make autonomous decisions: it doesn’t think, feel, or have intentions or goals.

It’s a powerful tool, but should be used critically — as an assistant, not an infallible oracle.

Knowing its limits is essential to take full advantage of its potential without unrealistic expectations.

×

4. Available versions

ChatGPT is available in several versions, differing in speed, capabilities, and updates.

The free version usually uses GPT-3.5, a fast and capable model, but with some limits in complex understanding.

“Plus” subscribers can access GPT-4, which is more advanced, precise, and suitable for complex or technical tasks.

GPT-4 may also include extra functions like web browsing, file uploads, and external tools or plugins.

Some versions are accessible via websites (like chat.openai.com), others are integrated in apps or devices.

There are also APIs for developers to integrate AI into their own apps or websites.

Each version has its own cost, limits, and performance — it's best to try the free one and see if an upgrade is needed.

No matter the version, smart use always makes the difference.

×

5. Starting without registering

Some platforms let you try an AI like ChatGPT without creating an account.

These include demo sites, mobile apps, or versions integrated in browsers and online services.

This is ideal for beginners or the curious who want to explore AI with no commitment.

However, free access usually comes with limits: slower replies, no conversation memory, and time-limited sessions.

Some services add temporary pauses (e.g., 30–60 seconds) to avoid server overload.

Other platforms show ads or reduce features for unregistered users.

For uninterrupted use, it’s best to create a free profile — no credit card or personal data required.

Registration unlocks better options, but even without it you can learn a lot.

×

6. Registering and starting

Registering for ChatGPT is free and only requires a valid email and a phone number for verification.

Registration lets you save chats, access from multiple devices, and receive service updates.

Once registered, you can start writing questions or requests just like in a normal chat.

No technical knowledge is needed: the interface is simple and beginner-friendly.

Each message is processed in seconds, and you can test it freely even without knowing what to ask.

You can modify, copy, or save answers directly from the chat window.

Registered users get more stability, fewer interruptions, and often better performance than anonymous users.

It’s a great way to start getting familiar with AI and discover what it can really do for you.

×

7. Chat slowdown: what to do

Sometimes ChatGPT may take several seconds (or minutes) to reply, especially during peak hours.

This happens when many users worldwide are accessing the service at once.

Priority is given to paid users, so free users may have to wait longer.

Messages like “ChatGPT is busy, try again later” may appear, or the chat might freeze for a while.

In those cases, wait a bit, refresh the page, or close and reopen the session after a couple of minutes.

Writing short and clear requests can help get quicker answers compared to long, complex ones.

If slowdowns are frequent, try using it during less busy hours — late afternoon or evening, for example.

Or consider upgrading to a paid plan if your use is regular and professional.

×

8. What it remembers

During an active conversation, ChatGPT remembers previous messages.

This allows it to respond consistently, keeping track of context, names, and prior questions.

When you close the window or refresh the page, this temporary memory is erased — the chat starts fresh.

If you're logged in, you can view your chat history, but nothing is “remembered” between sessions unless memory is enabled.

Newer versions like GPT-4 with memory can retain data between sessions (if authorized), but only with user consent.

This is helpful for long-term projects, and you can disable or erase the memory anytime in settings.

In general, AI doesn’t "remember" like a human does, but it can handle some past text as long as the session is open.

The more useful context you include in your messages, the better the response — without relying on persistent memory.

×

9. Privacy management

When you use ChatGPT, everything you write is sent to servers to generate a response — privacy is important.

OpenAI states it doesn’t use your chats to train the model if chat history is disabled.

If history is on, human reviewers may analyze conversations to improve the service.

Avoid entering sensitive data like phone numbers, tax codes, passwords, or private information.

The AI can’t “forget” info on demand during the session — once written, it stays in context until the session ends.

You can delete your chat history manually from your profile at any time.

Every user has the right to know how their data is managed and can read OpenAI’s privacy policy for technical details.

In general, use ChatGPT with common sense — treat it like a public conversation, even if it’s private.

×

10. How to write a question

Writing a good question is the first step to getting useful answers from ChatGPT.

Avoid typing just one vague word like “Python” or “travel” — instead, explain what you actually need.

The clearer and more complete the message, the better the response — AI can’t read your mind.

A good example: “Can you explain how to write a for loop in Python with a simple example?”

You can also add context: “I'm a beginner” or “I’m building a basic website.”

It's better to ask one question at a time. If you ask too many at once, the answer might be confusing or incomplete.

If the answer isn’t what you expected, try rephrasing the question or asking for clarification.

With practice, you’ll learn to write more effective and focused prompts.

×

11. What are prompts

The term “prompt” refers to the message you write to give instructions to the AI.

It’s your request, question, or input that guides the model's response.

A prompt can be a simple question like “What’s the capital of Norway?”, or something more complex.

The more detailed and precise the prompt, the more useful and accurate the answer will be.

Simple example: “Write me a 4-line poem about the sea.”

Complex example: “Write a formal email requesting a refund, in correct Italian, with a polite but firm tone.”

Prompts aren’t rigid commands — you can write them as if you were talking to a person.

Learning to write good prompts is like learning to use a tool: you get better with practice.

×

12. How to avoid vague answers

Vague answers often come from prompts that are too generic, short, or unclear.

Writing “Tell me about electricity” is different from “Explain in simple terms how alternating current works.”

A good trick is to always add context: who is the answer for? What is it for?

Specifying the format helps: “Make a list of 5 points” or “Answer in a table.”

If you get a disappointing answer, ask: “Can you be more specific?” or try rephrasing your request.

Avoid vague words like “talk about,” “explain everything,” or “give a generic summary.”

Writing good prompts is like asking smart questions: the more targeted they are, the better the result.

With experience, you'll quickly learn how to get useful, non-generic answers.

×

13. Prompts for hobbies and free time

ChatGPT can be a great companion for hobbies, new ideas, or spending time creatively.

You can ask: “Suggest 5 movies similar to...” or “Recommend a historical novel set in the Middle Ages.”

For cooking: “Give me a simple recipe with tuna, tomatoes, and pasta” or “How do you make piadina romagnola?”

If you love traveling: “Make me a 3-day itinerary in Naples avoiding very touristy spots.”

For DIY: “How can I build an antenna stand with recycled materials?”

For games: “Create a quiz about ham radio with 5 questions” or “Explain the rules of burraco.”

You can also ask for gift ideas, indoor activities, memory exercises, or drawing/photography prompts.

Just be curious — the more creative your prompt, the more surprising the answer can be.

×

14. Component datasheet info

You can use ChatGPT to get information about electronic components without reading the entire datasheet.

For example: “What are the specs of the BC547 transistor?” or “What’s the difference between NE555 and LM556?”

The model can give you a quick overview: component type, pinout, voltages, common uses, and precautions.

For more detail, ask: “Summarize the LM317 datasheet in Italian” or “How do I wire a 4N35 optoisolator?”

Sometimes ChatGPT can also suggest alternative or more modern compatible components.

However, for sensitive or professional circuits, always refer to official datasheets from the manufacturer.

The AI doesn’t replace technical documentation, but it’s great for getting a quick idea or solving basic doubts.

Very useful for hobbyists, students, or those working with circuits at a practical level.

×

15. Financial market info

ChatGPT can help you better understand concepts, tools, and dynamics of financial markets.

You can ask about stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, dividends, spreads, inflation, and much more.

Example: “What are distributing ETFs?” or “What’s the difference between BTP and BOT?”

You can also ask general strategies: “How does a monthly accumulation strategy work?” or “What is value investing?”

ChatGPT can also help read a fact sheet, understand a balance sheet, or compare financial products.

It doesn’t give personalized advice or guaranteed predictions, but it’s useful to understand how products work.

You can ask about single stocks, sector ETFs, government bonds, balanced funds, certificates, or derivatives.

Try: “What are the risks and benefits of a bond ETF?” or “What’s the role of a benchmark?”

×

16. Questions not to ask

There are questions you shouldn’t ask ChatGPT, for ethical or safety reasons — or simply because they won’t help.

Avoid asking for personal data, tax codes, phone numbers, or restricted access: it doesn’t know and won’t provide them.

Don’t ask for instructions on illegal, dangerous, or unethical activities — the system blocks them automatically.

Avoid complex medical questions, legal advice, or diagnoses — it’s not a doctor or lawyer, just a general guide.

Also avoid offensive requests or provocations: the AI isn’t offended, but it’s pointless and unproductive.

Don’t expect it to “guess” — if you don’t give enough context, the answer may be generic or wrong.

AI doesn’t have personal opinions, political views, or the ability to judge or insult.

Treat it as a respectful, neutral tool — you’ll get better, more reliable answers that way.

×

17. How to restart a chat

If a conversation becomes slow, confusing, or no longer helpful, it’s time to start fresh.

You can click “New chat” (if available) or just reload the site page.

Restarting clears temporary memory — the AI forgets everything that was said before.

This is useful when switching topics completely and you want to start with a clean slate.

If replies are slow or stuck, refreshing the page might help — though it’s not guaranteed.

You can also copy your last prompt, open a new session, and paste it there to start again.

Restarting has no negative effects — sometimes it’s the best way to get back to fresh, clear responses.

It’s like talking to a new person who doesn’t know what you said before.

×

18. How to search the internet

Some ChatGPT versions, like GPT-4 with browsing, can search the web for up-to-date information.

If your version supports browsing, you can ask: “Find the latest oil price data” or “Give me the official NASA website.”

It helps to specify that you want updated sources or links from reliable websites.

If browsing is not active, it can still help you craft a good search to do on your own.

Example: “How can I search for a beginner PDF guide to Python?”

Often, AI can anticipate what you’d find online, but remember: its data may not be current.

For precise and recent info, always double-check sources directly.

You can also ask: “What are the best sites for…” or “Are there active forums on this topic?”

×

19. Requesting Python code

ChatGPT is a great partner for writing Python code — even for beginners.

You can ask for simple examples like “Make a program that calculates the average of three numbers.”

If you already know what you want, be specific: “Make a for loop that prints only even numbers from 1 to 100.”

The AI can generate full scripts, explain each line, and help you modify them for your needs.

It’s also good for advanced tasks like working with files, using `tkinter`, or creating small GUIs.

You can say: “Create a GUI program to input name and surname and save them in a file.”

45. Advanced weather forecasts

ChatGPT can help you better understand weather forecasts, atmospheric models, and the meaning of various indicators — even in a technical way.

You can ask: “Explain what a map with tight isobars shows” or “How to interpret radar rain images?”

Even if it can’t provide real-time data (unless you use a version with browsing), it can help you read official sources better.

Useful to understand models like GFS, ECMWF, 850 hPa charts, thermal anomalies, or long-range projections.

It can explain terms like “instability,” “jet streams,” “cold fronts,” or “geopotential anomaly” in both simple and advanced language.

It can also help you write weather bulletins, create automatic weather scripts, or simulate a forecast for practice.

Perfect for weather enthusiasts, technicians, pilots, radio amateurs, or curious minds who want to go beyond “sun and clouds.”

A valuable tool for truly understanding how weather works — and for never being caught unprepared.
