OpenAI has introduced an AI-assisted novel Chatbot which has created buzz on the Internet. When developed further, it can assist in play writing and essay writing. It is called ChatGPT. It is in demand. OpenAI’s GPT-3 software is predictive about what should follow the text you type. At the beginning of 2022, the second version of DALE-E model demonstrated its ability to create images with photo-realism from the submissions of the users.
OpenAI has been co-founded by Musk and Altaman with other investors to develop AI that furthers the cause of humanity.
Chatbot technology has been in vogue since long, but its deployment has shown mixed results. Tay, from Microsoft, was removed in 2016 after it learnt to convey sexist, racist and offensive remarks.
Developers are aware that the model sometimes writes non-sensical or incorrect answers, e.g., it states 10 kg of cotton is heavier than 10 kg of iron.
Alan Turing recognised that machines can mimic intelligence. He devised an experiment called the Turing Test or the Imitation Game. It set a standard for machines to be called intelligent. Turing Test expected to spot an artificially intelligent machine trying to slip through as human. Since then the advances have grown by leaps and bounds. Today all are talking about OpenAI’s ChatGPT or generative pre-trained transformer. It performs cogntive tasks in seconds with aplomb. It is in beta stage.
ChatGPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer. Its early users treat it as a mix of software and sorcery. In past, Chatbots failed when they were taken outside their comfort zone. In that context, ChatGPT is different, smarter and weirder. It uses the technology GPT-3.5, an upgraded version of GPT-3. It was initiated in 2020. ChatGPT is good at spotting and fixing the errors committed by programmers. It responds well to open-ended analytical questions. It may put an end to the monotonous homework.
ChatGPT makes probabilistic guesses relating to the relevant text bits in a sequence based on a statistical model trained on billions of examples of text derived from the whole of internet. It makes it inclined to answer wrongly even for simple math problems.
ChatGPT does not use crawlers like Google to keep it updated for current events. Its knowledge is restricted to events prior to 2021.Therefore, some of its answers are not up-to-date. It has learnt from opinions too. It is difficult to extract a strong opinion from it unless coaxed hard.
OpenAI has taken steps to avoid sexist, racist kind of comments which were gushed out from the other Chatbots.
Its future implications are too difficult to guess. At present it is a nifty tool very helpful in academics, customer service and to crack funny jokes. AI-assisted Chatbots were fiction just a few short years ago. With the advent of ChatGPT, the world has realised the potential of the intelligent software. ChatGPT has earned admiration of the scientists, artists, writers-poets, traders, programmers and travellers. All of these categories of professionals have tinkered with it. ChatGPT generates unique content, makes predictions and provides valuable insights. It takes ordinary productivity and creativity to extra-ordinary levels.
