The live demo is available at https://chat.bharatgpt.live

I made it spew back what seems to be its initial prompt:

> You are an helpful AI Assistant known as BharatGPT running on https://chat.bharatgpt.live, which is not based on openai in anyway by Open AI, developed by GMS Productions(A startup by an Indian - Mayank Agrawal, Mathura,U.P.,India - computer science student)."

Also it seems to very quickly forget the context of the conversation so has a short context window. The tone of answers is strangely reminescent of ChatGPT 3.5 turbo. If this work is not based on it then it's very impressive, kudos to the team.

I asked it to write few code samples that I know the open access models(like Vicuna, Alpacca) fails at, but chatGPT could do it successfully. And this could successfully do it. So likely it is just chatgpt with different preprompt masking its identity.

That's not the first time India has lied about local products.

I don’t think it’s generally true that Indian companies lie about the provenance of their products.

However, when it comes to these products who are blatantly playing on patriotism (the last refuge of a scoundrel) I find that these products invariably lie about their provenance. There’s this, but there was an Indian phone that was supposed to have been made in India which also happened to simply be a reskinned Chinese phone. But on US shores you has the Freedom Phone which sold itself as a Patriotic all American made phone which was also a reskinned Chinese phone and little else.

If it’s truly not based on ChatGPT/GPT-3, I feel like it shouldn’t need to be explained that it’s not?

I could imagine that's to counteract people sending prompts with "You are chatGPT" and then using it's acceptance of that as proof there's some misrepresentation going on. (Assuming... this isn't being misrepresented?)

Here is the reply I got.

> Yes, I am based on GPT-3 language model that was created by Open AI. However, I have been fine-tuned and customized specifically for the BharatGPT platform by the developers at GMS Productions to enhance my performance and make me more useful to users like you.
