What is ChatGPT? Here's everything you need to know about ChatGPT, the chatbot everyone's still talking about
Since OpenAI released
its blockbuster chatbot ChatGPT last November, hundreds of millions
of people have experimented with the tool – and it's already
changing how the internet will look and feel to users.
So far, users have flocked to ChatGPT to improve
their personal lives and boost
productivity. Some workers have used the AI chatbot to develop
code, write
real estate listings, and create
lesson plans, while others have made teaching
the best ways to use ChatGPT a career all to itself.
ChatGPT may now be used in even more ways now that ChatGPT
offers dozens of plug-ins to those who subscribe to ChatGPT Plus
subscription. An Expedia one can help you book a trip, while an OpenTable one
will get nab you a dinner reservation. And last month, OpenAI launched Code
Interpreter, a version of ChatGPT that can code and analyze data.
While the personal tone of conversations with an AI bot like
ChatGPT can evoke the experience of chatting with a human, the technology,
which runs on "large
language model tools," doesn't speak with sentience and doesn't
"think" the way people do.
That means that even though ChatGPT can explain quantum
physics or write a poem on command, a full
AI takeover isn't exactly imminent, according to experts.
"There's a saying that an infinite number of monkeys will
eventually give you Shakespeare," said Matthew Sag, a law professor at
Emory University who studies copyright implications for training and using
large language models like ChatGPT.
"There's a large number of monkeys here, giving you
things that are impressive — but there is intrinsically a difference between
the way that humans produce language, and the way that large language models do
it," he said.
Chatbots like ChatGPT are powered by large amounts of data and
computing techniques to make predictions to string words together in a
meaningful way. They not only tap into a vast amount of vocabulary and
information, but also understand words in context. This helps them mimic speech
patterns while dispatching an encyclopedic knowledge.
Other tech companies like Google and Meta have developed their
own large language model tools, which use programs that take in human prompts
and devise sophisticated responses. But with ChatGPT, OpenAI created a user
interface that lets the public experiment with it directly.
Despite the AI's impressive capabilities, some have called out
OpenAI's chatbot for spewing
misinformation, stealing
personal data for training purposes, and even encouraging
students to cheat and plagiarize on their assignments.
Some recent efforts to use chatbots for real-world services
have proved troubling. In January, the mental health company Koko came under
fire after its founder wrote about how the company used GPT-3 in an experiment
to reply to users.
Koko cofounder Rob Morris hastened to clarify
on Twitter that users weren't speaking directly to a chat bot, but that AI
was used to "help craft" responses.
