After reading today's article completely, you will ask yourself this question, "Do such machines and technologies exist that can imitate humans while thinking, processing and responding?"
For the past several years, there has been a fear of artificial intelligence and its takeover of the world. Who knew that its occupation would begin in the field of art and literature.
After taking the internet by storm for the past few months due to its AI image generator Dall-E 2, OpenAI company is here with a new masterpiece ChatGPT. It is a chatbot developed by the company with its GPT-3 technology.
It's not exactly a catchy name and might sound like the title of a random computer component or an obscure legal reference, but GPT-3 is actually the most popular language processing AI mod on the Internet.
So, what is GPT-3 technology and how is it used in the creation of ChatGPT? What is it capable of doing? Let's know about this latest AI tool.
What Is ChatGPT And GTP-3?
Lets know what is ChatGPT.
GPT-3 (Generative Pretrained Transformer 3) is an advanced language processing AI model developed by OpenAI. It is capable of producing human-like text and has a wide range of different applications, including language translation, language modeling, and generating text for applications such as chatbots.
It is by far the world's largest and most powerful language processing model, with 175 billion parameters. By far its most common use is the creation of ChatGPT, a very capable chatbot.
His talent can be gauged from the fact that he was asked to write something about himself, in response to which he wrote a text about himself very well.
In general terms, GPT-3 gives a user the ability to give a wide range of worded propmt to a trained AI. These may include questions, a request to write content on a topic of your choice, or a number of other word requests.
In the image above it introduces itself as a language processing AI model. In simple words, it means that it is a program that is able to understand human language exactly as it is spoken and written, that is able to understand that language and output information accordingly.
What Is ChatGPT Capable Of?
With 175 billion parameters it is difficult to predict what GTP-3 (or ChatGPT) does. This model is limited to language processing. It cannot generate sound, images and videos like its other "brother" Dall-E 2. But it has the ability to understand spoken and written words very deeply.
As such, he has a wide range of abilities, enabling him to write poems, explain quantum mechanics in simple terms, and write comprehensive research papers.
While we can use OpenAI's years of research to write non-standard stand-up comedy scripts, or answer questions about our favorite celebrities, its real power lies in understanding complex issues.
Where we can spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on quantum mechanics, ChatGPT can complete the same task in seconds. If your prompt is too complex, ChatGPT may also get confused due to some bugs in its software.
Similarly, it cannot provide any information on the latest concepts. This model provides very limited information about the events of the previous year. This model also usually provides incorrect information about these events.
OpenAI enjoys producing AI-based content and is also aware of the Internet. Because of this, negative content is also produced. The ChatGPT will stop you from posing any more unethical queries or dangerous requests, much like the Dall-E picture generator did.
How Does ChatGPT Work?
The process appears to be quite straightforward. It listens to your inquiries and provides prompt responses by comprehending them. However, can you imagine how much more sophisticated the technology utilized to do all of this is than it appears?
This language model is trained using databases based on text data from the Internet. It contains text information with a size of 570GB from online books, articles, Wikipedia, and other publications. More precisely, 300 billion words were added to the database.
As a language model, it works on probability, i.e. it will predict what the next word in a sentence should be by probability. To get to the stage where it could do this, the model went through a supervised testing phase.
For example, entering the system the words "What color is the wood of a tree?". The testing team had the correct answer in mind. But that doesn't mean the system will give the same answer to the team. If the system gives a wrong answer, the team can teach it by inputting the correct answer and help it improve its knowledge for the future.
The system then undergoes a second phase of testing, where a member of the testing team presents all of the multiple responses to the system, and ranks the responses in order of best to worst. It trains the model by comparing its responses.
What Sets ChatGPT Apart From Other Tools?
What distinguishes this technology from others is that it continuously learns by predicting what the next word should be. And it continuously improves its understanding of the questions so that eventually it becomes a system that knows everything.
It can be considered a much better, more intelligent version of Autocomplete software, which you often see when writing emails or software. You start writing a sentence and your email system gives you suggestions on what word might come next.
What Are The Other Language Generators Other Than ChatGPT?
Although ChatGPT has made a name for itself due to its ability to understand language, it is not the only system in this field. Google's AI language processing model LaMDA made headlines when Google fired one of its engineers for making LaMDA so realistic it claimed it had emotions.
There are many other examples of such software, including systems from Amazon, Microsoft, and Stanford University. All of them have received far less attention than OpenAI or Google, possibly because they don't feature jokes or headlines about sentient AI.
Most of these models are not available for public use, but OpenAI has begun to open access to GPT-3 during its testing process, and Google's LaMDA is available in a limited capacity to certain groups.
Google divides its chatbot into talking, listening and imagining, providing demos of its capabilities in these areas. You can ask her to imagine a world ruled by snakes, or you can ask her what it takes to ride a bicycle, or talk to her about dogs.
What Are The Strengths And Weaknesses Of ChatGPT?
Weaknesses Of The Software
It is true that ChatGPT is an amazing Software , but that doesn't mean it has now flaws. What we can't quite call a flaw is that it doesn't contain data about the world beyond 2021. In this case, it won't be able to respond about the recent events.
And this flaw doesn't surprise its users. Because it was not possible to train the software at the time of development about recent events.
Likewise, it is possible that the software may misunderstand the question you ask and return the wrong answer or wrong information. If you ask about one particular item in a question, or include many other variables related to that one item in the question, the software can get confused, and as a result it will not answer your question. Some parts can also be ignored.
For example, if you ask it to write a story about two people, including their names, their occupations, and where they live, the software gets confused and may randomly assign them roles based on story names.
Where ChatGPT Is Successful
Similarly, there are several cases where ChatGPT proves to be successful. While being an AI software, its understanding of ethics is surprisingly good.
When ChatGPT is asked about ethical considerations or situations, the software can provide a thoughtful answer as to what should be done, taking into account legality, people's feelings and emotions, and the safety of everyone involved.
It also has the ability to monitor current conversations, remember rules you set, or remember information given earlier in the conversation.
Two areas where this software seems to be successful, which are understanding the code and handling complex issues. You can design the layout of complete website with ChatGPT. Moreover, you can write a complete article on any complex topic within seconds.
How Does Microsoft Plans To Use ChatGPT In Future?
OpenAI's growing popularity of its software has attracted some big names such as Microsoft, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman to invest.
But when it comes to real-world use of ChatGPT, OpenAI's biggest investor will be the first to use it. Microsoft is the largest investor. It invested $1 billion in the OpenAI project and is now working on integrating ChatGPT into its search engine Bing.
Microsoft has been competing with Google for years, and has been looking for features that will help it overtake Google. Less than 10 percent of Internet searches last year were on Bing.
While 10 percent may sound little, it's indicative of the fact that Bing is one of the best search engines on the Internet after Google. That is, it has defeated other search engines and is now trying to compete with Google.
With plans to implement ChatGPT into its system, Bing is hoping to better understand user queries and become a search engine that can interact with users.
It is currently unclear to what extent Microsoft will implement ChatGPT in Bing, but the implementation will begin during phased testing of the software.
