Introducing 'ChatGPT' by OpenAI: What it Can Do, and Is it a Threat to Humans?

Trisha Kae Andrada, Tech Times 08 December 2022, 06:12 pm

ChatGPT is a prototype artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot by OpenAI. It has gained widespread popularity for providing human-like, in-depth responses to questions.

It can draft terms and conditions between two entities and set a working code.

Perhaps the bigger news is it can radically alter how people use search engines by providing links for users to browse and solving complex problems and answering comprehensive questions.

How Does it Work?

According to Forbes, ChatGPT employs OpenAI's vast GPT-3.5 language technology, an AI model that was trained on a massive library of text data from many sources.

ChatGPT can be instructed to carry out both basic and difficult tasks thanks to the bot's conversational interface.

The developer claims the bot is capable of answering follow-up queries and admitting its own mistakes.

It has been shown to build complex Python code and compose college-level essays in response to a prompt. No doubt that it's now raising fears that such technology may one day replace human professionals like journalists and programmers.

What Is it for?

Apparently, there are two possible ways people are using it. One is they use it casually, like creating poetic pieces, and two is to use it practically, like developing business notes.

The Guardian noted that beta testers had hailed this technology as a potential Google substitute because of its ability to define and answer even the most complicated issues.

It can show you how to create code, handle layout challenges, and optimize searches.

Potential real-world uses for this technology include:

Construction of automated chatbots.
Offering suggestions.
Provision of answers to customer queries.
Handling customer service issues.

Can it Replace Humans?

The program is still in its experimental stage. So despite its genius concept, OpenAI acknowledges that its moderation is not yet perfect and is not always correct.

It does not yet have the subtlety, critical thinking abilities, or ethical decision-making capacity necessary for compelling journalism. It has a propensity to overuse the same words.

Reportedly, it can't answer a question in one form unless you do a little tweak.

Most notably, its existing database information expires in 2021, making certain searches and queries obsolete.

To make matters worse, OpenAI claims that supervised training might be deceptive since the perfect response relies on what the system knows rather than what the human presenter comprehends, making it harder to remedy the problem.

Who Started it?

As mentioned earlier, it is the newest chatbot from OpenAI.

According to reports, OpenAI is a non-profit AI research organization created by billionaire and Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

Musk co-founded the company with other Silicon Valley investors, including technology venture capitalist Sam Altman. Their collaboration intends to advance digital intelligence in a manner that is most likely to benefit mankind.

After learning that OpenAI was using Twitter's database for training, he announced that he was stepping down from the board and cutting ties with the startup.
