Hype AI ChatGPT
OpenAI has released the prototype for its new AI project: ChatGPT. The artificial intelligence-based software is currently triggering a lot of hype and putting entire industries in turmoil.
Since its founding in 2015, OpenAI has been dedicated to researching artificial intelligence, and in 2018 it began developing ChatGPT. Two versions have been implemented so far, but these have not been made available to the public. With ChatGPT, the company has now released a chatbot that is supposed to be able to understand human dialogues and formulate answers. Not only texts are written in seconds, also images can be generated with the sister AI DALL-E 2. The AI system performs intelligent and creative feats that establish it as a decisive technology of the future. The bot is taking the Internet by storm, but it is also causing great concern.
What is ChatGPT?
GPT stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer - an AI chatbot system similar to the automated customer support chats of which a large number exist online. However, the bot is much more advanced and complex, as it is not limited to a certain number of response options.
ChatGPT can do more than just carry on a conversation. In the dialog format, queries are possible, inappropriate requests are rejected and own mistakes are admitted. The chatbot is capable of correcting grammar and can simplify as well as summarize a difficult text. Converting movie titles to emojis and fixing errors in Python code is no problem for the bot. Based on OpenAI's GPT-3 language model, the chatbot relies on deep learning technology. It is trained with algorithms that are filled with large amounts of text from the Internet.
How to use ChatGPT?
Since the technology is able to provide descriptions, answers as well as solutions to complex questions, it has been described as an alternative to Google from the users' point of view. Likewise, people use the service for writing codes and for optimization questions or layout problems. Do you want to generate content for websites, answer customer queries, make recommendations or create automated chatbots? ChatGPT is ready for all these applications and delivers absolutely usable results in no time.
Could ChatGPT replace people?
Of course, there has been speculation that professions responsible for producing content, such as professors, historians, journalists, programmers, etc., could become obsolete. Since the release of ChatGPT, academics have had the chatbot generate answers to exam questions. Submitted by a student, these results would yield full marks, they confirm.
Programmers also benefit from the tool, as it can solve coding challenges in obscure programming languages in seconds. Likewise, AI can deliver fast news copy, all without the work of journalists. Policymakers will probably inevitably have to deal with ChatGPT as well, as legal frameworks will have to be created in which chatbots can operate. Let's think, for example, of sales decisions or the banking sector - here it is clearly a matter of ensuring correct information.
Does ChatGPT have competition?
Over the past few years, many large corporations have invested a considerable amount of money in research on artificial intelligence. OpenAI and the British Alphabet subsidiary DeepMind are currently setting the tone in terms of chatbots.
Is ChatGPT free?
Currently, ChatGPT can be used for free during OpenAI's feedback phase. The reviews can in turn help the company improve the final version. If you want to test ChatGPT, visit the bot's official page and create an account. After selecting the "for personal use" option, you need to click on "Q&A" for a conversation with the bot. You can also enter a question directly here and within a few seconds you will receive your answer.
Is there any criticism of ChatGPT?
Successful journalism thrives on critical thinking and the ability to make ethical decisions. This also involves subtle nuances that the chatbot lacks at its current stage. Moreover, some queries and searches are completely useless as the current knowledge base ends in 2021. It is possible that ChatGPT will give completely wrong answers and present false information as facts. The company admits that "plausible-sounding but wrong or nonsensical answers" do happen.
